does jealousy play a part?
2007-01-15 08:55:05 · update #1
I haven't been married yet but I am engaged and ever since it happened there is one friend in particular who has really changed with me. She stopped calling me and such. I think that is pretty lame.

I'm not married (yet) but I have been with my boyfriend for awhile now. A lot of drama happened between us and jealous really started to become an issue with us. There were a few girls in particular who I wasn't comfortable with him talking to because I would read text messages from them saying that he's sexy and he's the "cutest guy" she "has ever met" so to me it seemed like they had some time of feelings for him and I soo wasn't gonna put up with that so he agreed and changed his number but he also asked me to stop talking to some guys (mostly out of jealousy because those guys were JUST my friends only, and they had no feelings for me) so I also agreed and changed my number too. So I think it's pretty much just a jealousy thing. If you're in love with your husband/wife then you should want to do whatever makes them happy. If they want you to stop talking to certain friends then do it... unless you feel there is no problem what so ever with continuing talking to that person (like if you've been friends with them for a really long time....etc.).

I lost single friends. I don't know why, probably because they felt like we had less in common now. Or they would go out and party and hit on guys and obviously as a married woman I wouldn't do that. When I was single and my friends got married, they tended to hang out with their husbands or other married friends.

I think we lose friends when we get married because most of our single friends feel like a "third wheel" and also because we focus so much attention on our new family that we tend to neglect our friends, even if we never intend to or it isn't obvious.

You lose all your friends, in particular the married ones once you are divorced. They seem to think you are a threat to their partneship even if you were the innocent party.
I got a lot more friends when I did get married.

The main reason why we have large amounts of friends is to improve our prospects of finding our perfect partner. Once we have found our significant other, we realise that we don't need so many friends.
When you marry, you gain a position of stability that puts all your other friendships into perspective.
Ergo, less friends after wedlock.

I lost most of my friends after getting married but turned out they didn't like my husband much...I wish they told me that before i married him i might have seen what a looser and bully he was before it was too late ....
Now I am divorced I have my friends back and some new ones who never became my friends because they didn't like my ex.

when i got married i lost all my male friends. it sounds like your husband is a jealous person. i regret losing them all because why the hell should you change your friends and lose them!! im strong enough to see it now. work hard to try and keep your friends, male and female, a relationship or marraige shouldnt stop your friendship circle. if it does, theres something wrong in the relationship xXx

we bn married 3 yrs but together for 7, we both still got all our freinds n a few more cos we both changed jobs so we met lots of new people , its not healthy for your relationship to just spend time with each other.

Some people do because their priority changes and you can't and sometimes won't do the same things you used to do. You friends see that you have changed and you may have nothing in common now. My opinion.
