Making friends is not something men do well. Maybe its the vunerability of opening up thats hard but so necessary for real friendships. I don't know. If you think of the prior generations, friendships were formed at work, at church, at civic organizations, at kids schools. None of these places are as safe or as prominent in men's lives as they once were. One good friend can be so important - your husband is lucky to have you.
Of course - I'm witty, intelligent, funny, beautiful, kind and I'm a good cook. what's not to love? Hahah. No, he always does say that without me he's nothing, which is a hard cross to bear.
