It is interesting to see what happens with friendships as we get a little older, busy with kids, and consumed with day-to-day chores. For many of us, at that stage in our lives, we still spend time with other adults, but the things you talk about and do change.
Evening cocktails morphs into watching the kids play hockey at the rink. Afternoon massages turn into play dates. Morning coffees… well, they just don’t happen… mornings are nuts.
My wife decided recently that she wanted to make sure that some of her female friendships were not getting stale. She has instituted drinks and lingerie shopping dates. With three of her close female friends, she is reaching out and seeing if they would like to go on a evening out where they would meet for drinks or dinner and then shop for lingerie together.
Seems like a fun activity and a way to keep some fun in your relationships with friends.
Good for her! I’ve found that as some of my friends, male & female, find themselves single again, our conversations inevitably morph from their divorces to dating to sex. From meetings with attorney’s and therapists to Tinder and OkCupid. LOL
Those discussion sound very interesting. I find that with married friends, there are many who are not comfortable talking about those things. It is a shame, as they are inherently interesting and not really threatening… but for many they seem off limits
