When I was in my 20s and 30s, and all of my friends were having children, it was a struggle to keep in touch with them. It seemed to me that I always tried, but they stopped bothering. I don’t know if they didn’t have time for anyone , or they just didn’t have time for me, and wanted to spend their time with other people who had children. We may have had different priorities, but it doesn't naturally follow that the friendship needed to end because of it. In our society, in almost always does. Now my best friend (a gay man) is having a child. I'm older now, and more attached to my friendships, and less inclined to let them slip away. What do I need to say to him to let him know that I understand that all he will want to talk about will be babies, and I'm willing to go with that as long as he doesn't feel a need to cut me out of his life because I don't have kids.
