Or does the social class separation also separate the friendship?

Interesting … historically “Social” class separators for women is marriage & kids. Now many are saying this isn’t a social class difference. Seems odd that we’d deny a theme that’s repeated endlessly in history. Hmmm.

Gosh I would hope that marriage and children would not separate that friendship that they have nurtured. That would be sad.
What they can do is make arrangements to have a girls night out, that way they can still maintain the friendship. The outtings for the friend that has children will depend upon the health of the child and if a babysitter can be arranged.
Hopefully the spouse of said person will allow for the outtings and have compassion towards the woman that needs to get out or the man that needs to get out with his buddies.
If being married and having children kill a friendship I feel lots of people would refrain from having children.
Some people however don't like children. that will separate the friends in some way as well.
Depends on how strong the friendship is
GOOD LUCK

I have observed through many years. It does not only apply to the women it also applies the men.
Single men and single women have their friends and some are very close to each other.
Then they marry. If the 2 friends marry it is very possible they will remain friends after marriage and party and do things as couples.
But for a married couple to remain friends with the single friends can work and often times some remain close friends but for some it become a different relationship.
Because of different life styles married and singles often drift apart, not intentionally, it just happens. Married people's recreations become different with other married couples. and the same goes for singles.
And when the single friend finely gets married, at times they become friends as married friends and couples.
When the kids come along it can play on the relationship as well. Because there is age differences such a new born-es that tie people down. and children in school which often times interrupts schedules.

Yes, but it's more difficult. I never thought I'd grow apart from my single friends. It has nothing to do with social class separation (we're all grad students).
It's just that our lives are so different now - they call on a whim to go out dancing, but I've just gotten the baby to bed after a long day of juggling research and nursing and pulling a barrette out of her mouth in the nick of time and grading papers and oops she's up from her nap early, oh and did I mention that I only slept for 3 hours last night ... hold on, she's crawling into the kitchen and she's trying to get into the trash and .... no thanks, I'd rather have a nap.
Honestly, most of my single friends just don't get it. They don't understand why I don't have the time to just drop everything and hang out like I used to. I don't blame them. I never would've anticipated that my life would be this hectic.

I don't see why she wouldn't. There is no social class separation as far as I'm concerned.. If she is secure in her marriage etc.. and her friends respect her union there is absolutely no problem.. Now.. she needs a balance between family and friendship and a secure husband.. Continue the friendships for the sake of your individuality.. Hopefully your husband can do the same..

In my opinion its hard. I don't think its social class separation but that the interests just pull apart. Women with children, especially working moms, its easier to have friends with children. You can do things together, & when working moms can't see their kids as much as they would like, going out isn't as much of a priority. Where single friends normally would like to go out. I think you can & should definitely do everything you can to maintain the relationships, but I think time spent together diminishes causing the friendship to diminish.

I'm not sure I follow here. What has social class to do with getting married unless the husband to be thinks he is too good for her friends? In which case, he is probably not good enough for them.
There is no reason that the friendship can't continue.

A married woman can be friends with their single
friends.They just have to balance their time out with their new family and husband.Of course you may have to consider where you go as to their married position.

Men who are married stay friends with their single friends, so why shouldn't women? Men can play golf, hunt, fish with their buddies and women can shop and have lunch with their friends. Neither men nor women who are married should be going clubbing with their single friends, however.
Hey, why not introduce your single girlfriends to your husband's single guy friends?
