    Key here is married. You already found each other and gained each other’s friends

      We also just moved to a new city, far away from everyone we know… So now neither of us have any friends.

        Wait for your kids to make friends, then get to know their parents

          It’s easy to make acquaintances, but just because your kids are friends does nothing to make the parents “click” and be friends.

            OK, and how is that any different than making friends childless?

      They have kids, also known as friend repellant.

        You can also gain friends through kids

          Those are not friends but partners in suffering.

              Yeah, well, it’s a usually self-inflicted condition, so I don’t feel any empathy in those cases.

                  If it’s about what somebody asked, nobody asked you to stay alive, and you still do, no doubt aggravating many.
