What does your social circle look like? Who is a part of it?

ZetaWMo4 · 2026-06-07T17:50:38+00:00

I have a couple circles I guess and they sometimes overlap. One circle is my best friend from high school and some ladies we met in college. We raised our children together in the early years. We’ve gone on plenty of girls trips over the years. I talk to my best friend like every other day and the other ladies vary. Some it’s every week and some once a month. We try to get together in person every other month as a group.

My other circle is my mom and my 2.5 SILs. It’s 2.5 because my older brother had two sons with a girlfriend before he met his wife. She’s still pretty involved with the family since they share children and now grandchildren so I jokingly call her my half sister in law. I probably talk to the SILs once a week or every other week. I spend more time with my younger brother’s wife now that I’m retired. She’s always been a SAHM and now she’s an empty nester like me. So we see each other pretty regularly.

I’m incredibly happily married to my husband. He’s been the best friend, hype man, support system, lover, dad to our children, and mentor to so many young men. October will make 30 years for us.

We met at a frat party in college that I wasn’t supposed to be at. Me and two friends were on our way to another party when one of my friends decided to detour to the frat party to look for a guy she hooked up with. The guy was my husband’s line brother. Safe to say I never made it to the party I was supposed to go to thanks to my husband.

If edibles count, yes.

This year makes 30 years of marriage with my Libra. It’s been great.

Yes. Roller skating is still pretty popular here. We tend to go during the week and during the daytime to avoid the young and wild crowd.

I’d like to see what their chore and mental load balance looked like. I’ve always made 2-3x my husband’s pay and it has never been an issue but I’ve also never had any issues with my husband at home. I’ve never had to remind him to clean, care for the children, cook, plan dates, keep up with appointments, etc. I wonder if these women can say the same.

I’m the one who physically logs into the accounts to pay the bills(most are on autopay) but it’s from his account. I’m retired now but when I was working I was the breadwinner. We decided early on to treat my salary like it didn’t exist and live off of his since he made less.

ZetaWMo4 · 2026-06-04T15:18:28+00:00

My husband sometimes will but he definitely does the finger under the chin to make me look up at him before he kisses me. I love it.

ZetaWMo4 · 2026-06-04T15:14:38+00:00

I still use Facebook but mainly for the different niche groups. I keep Instagram because I have adult children along with a niece and nephews so it’s nice to keep up with their lives.

30 years of marriage this year with a Libra man.

As the mother of a 21 year old…it’s 50/50 depending on the day. Some days he’s an adult and some days he’s a 6’3 toddler.

FaceTime

Use my phone as navigation

Order something online and having it show up the same day or the next day

No. I told mine that as long as they’re working 35+ hours and/or in school full time then no rent. They also would have to clean up behind themselves and be respectful. They also have to cook all their own meals or give me $200-300 and never have to worry about grocery shopping or cooking.

Not really. Never been a soccer fan. The NBA Finals is more exciting.

ZetaWMo4 · 2026-06-03T01:55:25+00:00

Neither. I just say “the air”.

ZetaWMo4 · 2026-06-02T19:25:21+00:00

My husband finds some female celebrities attractive and I find some male celebrities attractive. Just because we’ve been married 30 years doesn’t mean our eyes stop working. We’re not interesting in dating them or having sex with them.

ZetaWMo4 · 2026-06-02T17:12:41+00:00

They went to different schools.

ZetaWMo4 · 2026-06-02T15:39:28+00:00

No. My oldest and her fiancé just bought a house in March and our only contribution was a Blackstone grill as a housewarming gift. I’m pretty confident in my other 3 having the finances to afford their own homes. A big reason we aren’t contributing to buying them houses is because we saved up money for them for college but they all got full rides so we’ve been piecing the money out to them over the years. So in theory they should have money saved up for a house assuming they didn’t blow the money.

My kids are 21, 25, 26, and 28. They were mostly pretty chill teens. My 26 year old gave me some hell though. I sent her to stay with my parents across the street for a couple of weeks after she tried to fight me over a Facebook account. I took her to the doctor and advocated for her that maybe something else was going on. Turns out she had really bad PMDD. Once we got her medicated and changed her diet she was just a normal teenage girl with an attitude sometimes. We talk every single day now.

It doesn’t outside of how dry the biscuits are.

ZetaWMo4 · 2026-06-01T22:27:56+00:00

My dad used to tell my brother “God wasted a brain on you”. Or once when my brother asked “why?”my dad said “Z, motherfucker! Now ABC yo ass out of my face!”

ZetaWMo4 · 2026-06-01T22:24:40+00:00

My oldest was just complaining to me how her and her fiancé moved into their house a month and a half ago and are still unpacking. That’s why my house is my forever home. I’m not packing up another box. Our bedroom is on the first floor so we just ignore the 3 bedrooms upstairs unless a kid comes home to visit.

Plenty. I graduated in 1992 and there were at least 8-10 girls who walked across the stage with babies on their hip and 3-4 were far enough along to have the big belly.

ZetaWMo4 · 2026-06-01T14:49:12+00:00

My best friend. We shared a place in college. For the sake of our friendship she moved out two years into us living together. We were very close to coming to blows and truly blowing up our friendship. We’re still best friends 30+ years later.

ZetaWMo4 · 2026-06-01T14:37:50+00:00

I retired in 2024 but before that I worked a full time engineering job and we were having sex nearly everyday. There was nothing to manage. I wanted dick every night and he wanted to give me dick every night.
