@DEERBLOOD @SuperLutheran There's so many challenges being friends with people who are single or childless when you're married with kids. They literally can't understand your level of obligation to other people and how it shapes your perspective. Even giving advice, when asked, can turn into frustration or scornful reactions, sometimes out of envy. We've lost many friends because they don't get it, and we've gained many who do. The people who we've added to our lives are the type of people who build societies, and we've mostly removed the bugmen.
