I’m not saying pple should break away from their childhood friendships they should most definitely maintain it… However you should be mature enough to create a new social circle based on your current circumstances… Always add and maintain. And the best advice I could give, is be a friend don’t look for others to befriend you be a friend towards them… Invite them over for Shabbos, offer help with a simcha, offer to carpool, host a neibourhood shiur at your house…. Of your too busy for it during the week do it Friday night before the guys came home from Shul… There are so many opportunities… And if you’ve made friends in the past it should be easy for you now…
Ma’am in- Disapoint me…. In which way??? you def have a point if the op didn’t have friends in school that suggestion wouldn’t work, besides which if she did, it’s not the best solution… I believe younge pple need to Brayden their horizons… I find in the Yeshivish communities that is not done and many pple do stick with school friends way into their 40s and 50 s…. I’m not your exdaughterinlaw… If thsts what you are insinuating Bh I’ve been married for many years… And thankg-d I had friends in my youth as well as now…
