why is it so hard for married people to keep single friends?

Answer 1

Well it seems like there is some kinda rule like, when you get married the fun goes out the window. I think it is programmed into mostly women. I don't mean to sounds sexist (sorry) but that's what I see. I have never understood that thought behind marrried poeple. I always hear people say well when you get married you have family, a spouse and prioritys and there no time for you to be hanging out with your single friends. I have alot of married friends and to be honest they lead on to their wifes that they are happy and love being married, but I hear the truth and the misery from them daily. Being married doesn't mean that you have to give up all your single friends. The only ones you should give are the ones that mean to destroy. If women and men only knew that sometimes a husband would love for his to say, hey baby why don't you go out and have some from with whomever(single guy)and for a husband to do the same for his wife , the positive impact would be great. From my point if couples weren't so jealous and controlling of each other, then there be no divorces. My close friend was married for 8 years. His wife hated me becasue I was single. She always argued with him that, I was trying to get him to cheat. Well on the other hand he was getting me all the girls. I respected his marriage and never tried to bring pain on it. I work with mostly married men and from their statements and actions I'm glad I' m single. Bascially I just want to stick up for all us single people out there and tell our-side. Thanks

Because the married people have reached a new level in their lives. They are concentrating on making a marriage work, being together, buying a house, starting a family. There are a lot more responsibilities for married people. I had a single friend for many years after I was married. It was very hard for her to understand why I couldn't just wrap up the baby and go see a musical, or take classes at night, for something I had always dreamed of doing. Priorities change.

Answer 3

Because one of the married people are worried, and sometimes, justifyibly so, that the single friend will woo the married friend into going to single bars or hanging out and doing singles things OR worried that the single friend will end up being appealing to their spouse.

Answer 4

It is because you are leading 2 seperate lives. Usually people who are married like to stay around the person they are married to and go out with them. But when you go out with single friends, having a couple is weird because they kinda isolate themselves.

If you have a good marriage, you sometimes go out on your own with single friends and hava a good time. but of course a lot of people are not "allowed" to do that. So unless you are able to spend time without the spouse with your single buddies, they will move on because it is no fun hanging out with another couple unless you are too a couple.

It sucks when you get older that this phenomenon causes people to be recluses that only hang with their spouses. Then more and more people are married and the only thing cool to do is go out to eat with another married couple. You become old really quick

I am 27 and practically married now, but I still go out and party. It keeps you alive and your relationship gets better. A lot of people my age are done with and become old cornballs because they dont go out, they dont do anything so they get "old" You lose touch with whats cool and then you become a loser. I often have to hang out with younger people because of the unavailabilty of older people but it is still great

Answer 5

for the simple fact that married people have worked too hard to let some single chick strut in and take their man!

Answer 6

Because their priorities are so radically different as soon as the one says "I do." Multiply that by about a thousand when the kids start coming.
