50 years old, had a single best friend for nearly 38 years. My only continuous friend throughout my life.
I got together with a girl from our mutual past, and found out he groomed and molested her for years.
Confronted him about it and he turned into a completely different person. Absolutely destroyed our decades-long friendship.
I have a few friends, but no one I could call with a real problem.
That sucks. I had a good, long time friend (M) who married another friend of mine (F). Their marriage was short lived. When I found out he had been abusing her, I cut ties with him. Haven’t talked to him since and don’t plan to. I hope he gets his life together but to me he’s just a shit bag who beat his wife. I refuse to be friends with people who treat others like that.
Pretty much just my wife. I have some great friends from high school, but we only get together every other year or so.
Haven’t seen the movie, but I have a best friend. We dated for a short period, but ended up becoming best friends a month later. The real irony, we ended up discovering we have a ton in common and we’re even dating people that are almost identical.
It’s strange, unless this situation is more common place than I was aware?
Thats pretty cool. Hope you’re friendship last forever. Even after you find a partner, get married and have kids.
I don’t even have any regular friends and wouldn’t even begin to know how to make one.
I used to have a lot of friends, then I got clean.
I’m just not good at talking in that perspective. I can talk about specific topics but seem to lack the ability for small talk that making friends seems to require. In the past 6 years I thought I made a friend once, we worked together for a while and would talk a couple times a day, I was a little more advanced in my career so I would often help her with projects/teach her stuff, I even opened up a bit and let out my weird thoughts occasionally. It was good, then one day she just stopped responding.
I’m very content with having my wife and son as my best friends, but an actual friend would be nice.
