Ask Amy: I moved back home and found that my friends never grew up
First, let’s stipulate that it’s not that you don’t “like” your hometown friends, but that your interests have expanded beyond hanging out on Randall’s couch, getting high and pulling video heists.Start hiking, biking, volunteering for Habitat for Humanity, and going to concerts and clubs.Getting a life can be challenging, even if you’re young and unencumbered. It can be even harder in your hometown because you are pigeonholed into friendships and habits by other people.
My boyfriend and I decided it would be best for me to be a stay-at-home mom, and being that I did that for many years with my other children, I was ecstatic.Everything seemed to be going great until a few days ago. He started acting distant and we’ve gotten into some pretty bad arguments.He says he’s tired of me making him feel like everything he does is wrong. l definitely don’t think that. I do get upset over his phone usage, especially around the baby.
