Hi, first time I'm writing in this forum. Its helped me a lot with some other questions I've had, but now I have this worry. Here goes...
I proposed to my girlfriend that I've been with for almost 2 year. We are happy together, but she has a problem with my sisters who aren't really the nicest girls in the world, especially to her, and there is no real reason why. This is just the way they are, but its makes my girl uncomfortable to be around my family and stuff.
To add to the problem, after we got engaged, my girl realized she didn't have many people to tell, because she doesn't have many people in her life other than her family and one person she works with, who she doesn't like at all. She used to have a few friends, but she lost contact with them when she lost her job, and she realized another really good friend of hers wasn't really a good friend at all, so she stopped being friends with that person too, so she now feels really bad because she has no friends and is not looking forward to the wedding day or anything at all.
I know the simple answer would be that she goes out and makes friends and stuff, and not let things bring her down, but she finds it very hard to make friends and that's why she only had a few to begin with. I tried introducing her to my friends, but she wants friends of her own, and I can understand that... she doesn't want to feel that she is just living in my shadow or something, so I don't know what to do to help her. Plus, she still has some mild depression, so that doesn't help.
Sorry for saying all this, and I know it's a lot to read, but there aren't many people I can really talk to about this, so I was thinking someone on here might be able to point me in the right direction, or give me some advice. That would help a lot, and then I'd have more questions to ask. Thanks in advanced :)
