I feel the same way. A lot of my friends have older children and so we are at very different stages in life….I recently broke up with a friend who has 5 kids because I struggle with anxiety having been through 2 miscarriages right before and she said some horrible things and couldn’t relate/has her own drama going on….I now have 2-3 friends who I try to get together with every week or so to go for brunch or a movie…it’s definitely different than going out for “drinks” which was common but I’m embracing Thai new stage and I’ve been learning who is actually there for me being pregnant ❤️
Agree it's been very isolating for me as well. I feel like I don't have anything in common with my friends anymore. I'm making an effort to suggest brunch or dinner, but I feel like it's not the same since I don't want to go out to bars anymore. Maybe you could try suggesting lunch to catch up with them. Or reaching out to see how they're doing, so they know you're interested in their lives and can still talk about some of the same stuff as before?
Have you made an effort to reach out to them? That's what I've had to do, but it was worth it to maintain friendships.
