Much less now, though I've never had many to begin with.

less friends, more acquaintances.

Much less

 

[tvguy]

I'd guess about the same.

 

[mrodgers]

Less by far, I divorced my adult friends by divorcing the wife. We didn't have friends. We had family. I'd never had family growing up and cherished how great her family is.

 

[disneychrista]

Less.

 

[MamaMermaid]

Less. But that's ok.

 

[cedricandsophie]

More. Back then I just had friends from grade and high school. I still have some of those. But now I have friends from when I was working, friends from my husbands work and friends from my activities like paddle tennis and charities. I’m one of those thst nurture friendships.

 

[Kimkimba]

Less. My husband is my very best friend and it’s worked well for 26 years.

I have discovered that I do much better with family as friends as my (unknown to me until I was 50) Anxiety prevents me from really forming solid friendships with people I do not already trust. So less.. much less 'cause I am ******* crazy.

I have one very close friend who I see and speak to rarely although she lives next door It's a "Hey you still alive and have your head above water over there?" kind of friendship and then when summer comes we drink together.

Other than her my closest ever friend in my whole life is a cousin. Just pure love and friendship and everything a person could ever ask for.

I am sorry you lost that.

I am sorry you lost that.

Didn't entirely lose it. Just had Easter dinner with my ex, 2 girls, and her mom and dad, LOL.

Ex and I are friends, better friends than when we were married. Her dad when he butchers makes sure to pack a box of a couple hundred lb. of beef for me. And my winter chili was fantastic this year because of the tomatoes her mom gave me.

I have fewer friends but many more acquaintances.
