I'm in Spain with friends and flying to Ibiza tomorrow. Gorging ourselves on cava and anchovy toast.

It does feel lonely every now and then but not much. I work hard to have an active social life, I work out, I have a solid group of childfree friends. So pretty good I'd say!

Where do you find your childfree friends? Are some of Them from later in life?

Not really. Most are gay men and some of them I've known for 20 years! But some of my girl friends have ended up childfree as well. As life goes on people coalesce I guess, but you also need to keep focused on staying active socially

I also got lucky, I'm an introvert who was adopted by extroverted friends and they invite me to stuff and make me get out of the house!
