I've just realised, that apart from my wife and business contacts, there is only one person in the whole world who ever phones me.

Well, one person is a start. It's one more than I have. Perhaps it's my fault. I just don't have the desire to keep in close contact with anyone who I don't genuinely like. I didn't think I was that picky about who I like, but perhaps I am.

There is a great quote out there, not sure who said it, but

"Middle age is when the phone rings on a Saturday night and you hope it isn't for you."

Sad thing is, I can relate to the above!!!

post your number, you'd get a ton of calls.

My phone hardly ever rings, mostly just my mother, my h or my kids. Don't let it bug you too much. Do you do anything with friends? A hobby or something?

I assume that one person is your t? I know the feeling! Mine from the state I just moved from is the only one in that area, besides my parents, who is in touch with me at all. All my so-called friends bailed. Sad!

I hate phone calls, my phone has been on silent for like a year now. Just in case my FOO calls I can honestly say "my phone was on silent", but for you I'll make an exception... What's your number?

I'm sorry ... that IS sad. Now that you've realized it, maybe you can do something about it? Maybe develop one or two friendships where you would actually be happy to get a phone call from them?

Forgive me if this sounds like "tough love" or like I'm minimizing your pain.

You've got a wife. And business contacts...which means you have a job. And presumably you've got a therapist you dig. Those are happy things, right?

No. I have friend who calls me. That might stop when he recovers from being dumped.

I'm thrilled that I only have a few people that call me. I HATE talking on the phone.
