My husband and I have had this conversation many times.  He has true friends at work and we socialize with them.  I do not make friends at work.  My job and my personal life are separate and I want to keep it that way.  I'm uncomfortable with after work activities in particular ones involving alcohol, as uncharitable meant to be funny comments have been made, and I just don’t have the temperament to withstand. (Remembering one such occasion in front of boss and their boss, I played nice at the time and vowed not to be in the situation again!) I develop professional friendships at work and leave it there.
