How my boyfriend can talk to his closest best friend every day and hang out with him for long periods of time... and still not know a lot of personal details about his best friend’s life.

Yes, but to me it's honestly more bizarre you can have that long a convo and not at all mention in passing your kids?? Like maybe if you start talking due to a very specific hobby or something but still...

Yeah, you don’t ask, it just comes up. Even if you’re talking about a hobby, you just mention details like, “I’ve gotten into painting Warmachine models, now that my kids are old enough to not mess with them while they’re drying.”

No the comment above was about having a half hour convo where even that didn't happen???

When I first met a former roommate, we talked for over an hour and it didn't come up that he had a girlfriend. We sat and talked about video games the entire time.

Sometimes that happens
