Friend
26 Answers
Have a wonderful female friend - known her for 50 years - she married with 2 sons and daughters-in-law. Very happy married. Having said all that she does not get on with females at all - 2 daughters-in-law. Things have gone a bit awry this past few years for her and now I look at her with a different perspective. I never realised she was so deep and I mean this - I am the only female friend she confides in.
Over the years when her and I have been out socialising - when it came to females - she becomes literally dumbstruck.
I took it with a pinch of salt all these years and will do but I do wonder what her problem is.
She has said to me over the years - I envy you so much cos you can talk away. I have invited her to parties when I used to have them but she wouldn't come.
The most sincerest person you could meet. In fact she is the only friend who knows simply everything about me and I know it never went further than her.

I don't understand what you're asking really but I would say that your friend sounds a lot like me.
I have never understood the need to share every aspect of one's life with friends or even family, I don't think in my almost 70 years I have ever 'opened up' to anyone, even health scares I have always kept to myself on the principle that if it gets seriously serious then I might have to tell them but until then it's my business and mine alone.
When we lived abroad and 'socialising', horrid word, was expected I did that was expected and quite enjoyed it.
After working in a school for almost 20 years, on the day I retired I walked out and didn't even go into the leaving do, I loathe situations that might put me in the metaphorical spotlight.
Probably people think I'm an odd ball and stand offish but I can live with that!
This is probably the most I've ever said about myself, the anonymity of the keyboard!

good for you Zebo - and perhaps why I don't understand that - I am totally the opposite - I tell all and sundry cos I do like to embellish too LOL.
However, she is tinged with the utmost sadness and whilst I have just mentioned 2 d-in-laws. She literally reared their children from they were born until now and I do think part of the sadness today is she has found it difficult to let her grandchildren leave the proverbial nest that the grandchildren no longer call. I feel like throttling them all because she has been so kind to them all.
