I have trouble meeting my friends.

hi angel, When I put my own business I rarely go for my girl friends invitation but I make sure that if something important and they really need me for sure I will come If they are really miss me they are the one who visits me and I am thankful that they are very understanding ones. You can always talks about this with your husband happy mylotting

I seldom meet my friend. In my mind, family is more important than friends. I'm a mother and a wife. If I can't spare the time to stay with my friends, then I won't. I don't know the other people, do they think like me or not?

Hi Angel, Yes I am also experiencing same situation but I am not married and I am a batchelor still I have trouble meeting my friends, like your friends my friends also inviting me to meet every weekend but I am not going with them to movies and to lunch etc etc. Because I am living with my sister and I am only the person who is earning in my family, I think you got my problem. Budget is the main problem, I can meet friends without money and eat and enjoy with their money but I don't want that and I am feeling that I missing so much in my life because I am still 24 only..

This situation is understandable since we are already married. I also on similar situation and I don't think I owe anybody explanation for this. I'm sure your friend will understand the situation.

Since I got married, I became so busy too, but my friends also got so busy with their own lives that we rarely get to meet together and hang out. The only solution we can find is to get together in our own house. But still, it's a rare thing for us to have a common day off to pull something like this.

I don't got any experience of this but from where i see its doesn't matters if you can meet the expenses or not and don't be shy asking your husband about going for outing and going with friend because you live only once and you are spending time with your family and what are you giving to your friend nothing I think you should ask your husband for outing with your friend otherwise you can loose them

Like what you have said, when you are committed already to your husband and family you can no longer do a lot of things. In our situation, my wife wants to hangout also but i am more like a strict husband. Like she can relax in our house with our kids instead of going out. But sometimes we a compromising. For example once a month, as long as i know it earlier before the date. Everybody deserves to be pampered after all. Try to talk to your husband and choose the date well when he is not that busy and you`re budget is still good. And of course choose the important reason why you go out like its a big reunion or something

Why would you ask permission of your husband for you to go out? You're an adult. My boyfriend and I spend a lot of time together, but if I wanted to go out somewhere without him, I wouldn't be looking to him for permission to do so. If he thought that I needed his permission to do things, our relationship would be over pretty fast.

Are your friends married as well? If not it may be time to make some new friends. When your life changes sometimes your friends don't make the change with you and that is ok. Once per month seems like plenty to me though. We all have to pick and choose how we spend our time and our money and you now have another person to think about. You should not need to ask permission of your husband to go out with your friends, however. You are not a child, and he is not your father.

It's always different once you have a family of your own. It's not the same when you are single. But I am sure your friend understands your situation as well. I have single friends and they know my limitations so, once they invited me for outings or strolling, they always consider my free time and sometimes I have to bring my kids with me and it's fine with them.

First of all, why do you feel shy asking him to go out? I'm married and have a 9 month old, so I definitely understand not having time for friends and spending most of it with family. I haven't been away from my son for more than 3 hours since he was born. But if anyone understands my need to have a few close friends and my need to get out of the house, it's my husband. Maybe talk to him and set up one afternoon/evening you can make plans with your friends and go do something. As for not having the money, there are tons of free options! Go walking at a nearby park or state forest. Have a girls night in at someone's house and have everyone bring a snack/drink. It's hard to make the time for it, but I've learned if I don't schedule time out for me, then I don't think about me at all! Good luck!

until now i have no experience like yours.because i still single.but you said the trouble that i can understand.since i start working,i seldom meet my friends,every day form home to working place.when it's time to weekend,i just want to sleep at home,have no energy to shopping and eating.but meetting friends are still important for everyone.never give up your relationship.good luck.i believe you can deal with the trouble.
