Because the couple that DH knows they are actually my friends too (we all worked together and it's where they met and DH and I met) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-made-more-of-your-couple-friends-you-or-your-so#post-194849 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 09:29:42 +0000 heffalump 194849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're both still friends with mostly our friends from way back in the day (preschool- middle school). His friends have gotten married though, and mine haven't. So he has more couple friends.... but I'm now friends with the wives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-made-more-of-your-couple-friends-you-or-your-so#post-194826 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 09:07:26 +0000 Andrea 194826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: They sound exactly the same. I don't get it either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-made-more-of-your-couple-friends-you-or-your-so#post-194821 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 09:03:50 +0000 looch 194821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: He has his circle of friends and that's enough for him...he doesn't like to be in the position of having to "learn" about people's lives. I totally don't get why that is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-made-more-of-your-couple-friends-you-or-your-so#post-194817 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 08:59:48 +0000 Andrea 194817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: He just doesn't want to know about people's personal lives? Haha, I dunno. What does your DH say? In a way, it's OK that he doesn't socialize because he works such long hours anyway. If he were also a social butterfly, then I would never see him so I think it works out for me, at least! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-made-more-of-your-couple-friends-you-or-your-so#post-194813 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 08:56:08 +0000 Alivoo01 194813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely the hubby. My hubby lived in Dallas a good portion of his life. I moved to Dallas for my job so I acquired friends from my hubby. I have a few friends that I've gotten close to, but can't compare to years of friendship the hubby has developed from his teen years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-made-more-of-your-couple-friends-you-or-your-so#post-194777 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 08:26:51 +0000 mrsjyw 194777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>split down the middle... we haven't made new couple friends, but our friends (both his and mine) have become couples in the span of the last few years :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-made-more-of-your-couple-friends-you-or-your-so#post-194748 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 08:10:05 +0000 looch 194748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: my husband too, what is it with our guys? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-made-more-of-your-couple-friends-you-or-your-so#post-194746 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 08:08:42 +0000 LuLu Mom 194746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say we are split even, we have 2 really close couple friends (DH best friend and his wife and my best friend and her husband) that we hang out with the most. We have others as well, and it is all previous friends of mine or his, and we only hang out all together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-made-more-of-your-couple-friends-you-or-your-so#post-194687 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 06:06:32 +0000 Andrea 194687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All me, DH doesn't care about making friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-made-more-of-your-couple-friends-you-or-your-so#post-194601 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 21:59:25 +0000 Red 194601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely me. SO is very particular about his friends and only has one guy friend/couple that he really keeps in touch with. The rest are acquaintances. I have 5 couples I can invite to a dinner party but I really only hang out with 2 of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-made-more-of-your-couple-friends-you-or-your-so#post-194586 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 21:18:30 +0000 mrbee 194586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Ok, you get partial credit then haha. :) But you need to bring in some couple friends, to even the balance!</p> <p>Haha or maybe that's just how I feel... the problem is, I'm old and sleepy all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-made-more-of-your-couple-friends-you-or-your-so#post-194584 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 21:15:51 +0000 MamaMoose 194584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say me. We moved away from home so all of our couple friends here are friends we made as adults. I just happen to be more outgoing where as hubs is kind of shy around new people so in most cases the couple relationship was initiated by me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-made-more-of-your-couple-friends-you-or-your-so#post-194581 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 21:13:18 +0000 Rubies 194581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: LOL yeah. BUT, they like me more. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-made-more-of-your-couple-friends-you-or-your-so#post-194579 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 21:10:20 +0000 mrbee 194579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Wait, so he met all the elementary school friends first? Then he gets credit for that whole crew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-made-more-of-your-couple-friends-you-or-your-so#post-194570 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 21:02:03 +0000 Rubies 194570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: So, hubs and I met at church and were friends for years so we had the same friends in our church life. He is very tight with his elementary school friends and I was brought into that circle when he and I started dating so now I'm considered to be "one of them." And these two circles of friends are with whom we spend time with.</p> <p>We don't have any other couple friends outside of these groups. We have other friends, yes, but we don't spend time with them on a couple-to-couple basis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-made-more-of-your-couple-friends-you-or-your-so#post-194552 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 20:51:33 +0000 chopsuey 194552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have too many couple friends.. met one though church, the other through DH, and one through me!<br /> So we're even :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-made-more-of-your-couple-friends-you-or-your-so#post-194549 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 20:48:41 +0000 mrbee 194549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: That's quite a trick! How did you guys end up with the exact same group of friends? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-made-more-of-your-couple-friends-you-or-your-so#post-194548 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 20:47:27 +0000 Rubies 194548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, hubs and I have the exact same groups of friends so...It's equal? We have lots of couple friends but no couple friends with kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-made-more-of-your-couple-friends-you-or-your-so#post-194547 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 20:46:00 +0000 mrbee 194547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, I'd say that it's somewhat even. Bee and I have four close-ish couple friends I'd say. For two of the couples, we all kind of met together. For the third couple that we're friends with, I was friends with the guy first and then we all became friends; for the fourth one, Bee was friends with the girl first and then we all became friends.</p> <p>Haha we need more couple friends! But we're probably at our max logistically... the kids and work keep us plenty busy these days.</p> <p>Who made more of your couple friends: you or your SO? </p>
