Your friends probably feel that you don't have time for them anymore now that you are married. Make an effort to call them to meet for lunch or go shopping. Or make some new friends through work or wherever you hang out.
Most of your friends probably envy you because you are married now.
You should not feel like you are left out or missing anything. You need to put more effort into making your life what you want.

No, not at all....I like being married, of course, I married my friend.....he and I do everything together.....depending on long you have been married, things will eventually change.....If you miss your friends, talk to them and get them to open up, and one day they will get married if they are not now, and will be in the same situation, so they will be wanting friends again....invite them over, have a party at your place with your husband, go out for the evening, if your husband doens't mind, or bring him along, i'm sure he would probably like to get out also...Does your husband feel the same way? Talk to him about it , he might want to go out too....I would just try to take him with where ever you go....

I think friendship circles can change a bit when you are married or in a steady relationship. If your friends are still single, they have a different outlook on things. They are still your friends, but they have different goals to you. When you have children, that can make even more of a gulf between you and your single friends. I know - most of my friends are still single, and I'm married with 2 kids, and have been for years.
The only answer is not to forget your single friends, but look around for married friends, or coupled friends. Then you can all hang out together. Having children can even divide you from your couple friends too!
The key is to have different friends for different activities. We go out for meals with other couples, and do dinner parties, but I also go out for drinks and dancing with single friends (I help find them a man, usually!).
Get a hobby that doesn't revolve around your marital status, where you can meet like-minded people whose status wont make any difference. That way, you have a reason to hang out together (a mutual interest) which doesn't involve partners.
Also, I can guarantee that all your single friends who don't want to hang out with you any more are actually jealous that they aren't coupled off. They would love to be in your shoes. They think that by hanging out with a married woman, it will spoil their chances of finding themselves a man. Let them know you can still have fun, and go man-hunting, but window shopping only. Also, be careful never to rub it in their faces that you have a man and they don't.

LOL, no I have never felt like something is missing in my life because I am married. I enjoy being a wife and a mother and a grandmother. So, maybe it is time to make a family of your own.

yes same thing has happened to me . None of my friends call me either cause they think i cant hang out . My husband is not at all controlling and would never prevent me from going out . I just think that they think I would not want to go .

im not married yet but im in a committed relationship and i feel like this. i still like to go to the bar and clubs but my friends dont invite me cuz i guess they think i wont have fun cuz im not there to pick up guys. WE NEVER FOUND ANY DECENT GUYS ANY WAY EVEN WHEN I WAS SINGLE!
anyway just get some married friends. we have some and i like hangin with them.
p.s. if you think your friends dont call you now, wait til u get pregnant!
