This has been troubling my thoughts recently just wanted some opinions
My only true friend at present is my wife.I know this because she's always there for me when things go wrong , I know I can talk to her about anything and it doesn't go further .I've got my broth in law and I know he's a friend because we've always got on great had laughs and I've only fallen out with him once in twenty odd years but he has a loose tongue so I can't talk to him about everything but he's family also so is he really a friend.I've got people I work with that are friends I suppose but when not working I don't socialise so just work buddies.I do games nights with friends of my brother and I get on great with them but their his friends not mine .I'm friends with my wife's true friend and we have long chats when I'm doing jobs for her but again she's not really my friend but my wife's friend.
I've only ever had two true friends in my life in my twenties and thirties and they've long since gone but it was both a pleasure and a chore having them because I could talk to them about anything and we liked the same activities but sometimes I felt to restricted and making excuses to not see them became more frequent .
So what I'm asking is am I missing out on not having a true friend , apart from the wife.Have you got a true friend and how do you feel about them.What are the special things about having a true friend.Do you know anyone that is close to being a true friend but you just not sure of them so it may never happen.Would you miss them if they suddenly disappeared , are they essential in your life and what would happen if you broke up with them.Can they be a chore sometimes and like someone I spoke to recently about his have you grown to dislike them because you've known them so long and they just irritate you now but you can't break free of them.Are you fine without one or do you miss having one like I do occassionally.
Any other thoughts on this would be great..
