Hi! I found these boards via Google, looking desperately for family advice (in my other post). I'm 33 and deliriously happily married, stay-at-home dad (as of January of this year) with a 5-year old son and a 12-year old daughter, sort of- and people just don't make a lot of sense to me and tend to do things I just don't understand.
I've had a lot of friends in my life that I considered good, close friends, but they always seem to vanish, and I always seem to be the person that has to initiate anything with them, and I won't lie, it's upsetting- I'm not a hard guy to get along with, but over the years, between my familial drama and friendship drama I've just stopped letting anyone get to know me, but lately I've began having dreams that leave me feeling so desperate for a good friend that it's just depressing the heck out of me.
Not that my son isn't my best buddy, and my wife my absolute best friend, but sometimes you just need someone else to talk to and/or do stuff with, and after 10 years on third shift, moving 7 hours away from where I lived all of my life and now being a stay-at-home dad... it's just kind of tough to meet new people.
ANYway (lol), I've never grown up in a lot of ways- I'm responsible and do what I need to over what I want to, but at the same time, I love drumming, comic books, movies, TV, books, pro wrestling (and no, my son hasn't been exposed much to that, I'm proud to say), video games, and basically anything except country music, pop music or sports. Which is funny, because my wife loves sports, lol.
I also hate politics, and my wife being a former Young Republican hasn't exactly changed that any. If you ever want to meet a two-faced backstabbing manipulative liar, go to a Young Republican meeting- 99% of the people you meet there will be exactly that.
Oookay... /rant over
New here, tired of life's drama, just need friends.
