I had observed some people after marriage their view changes towards their friends. I had experienced the same with one of my friend. I feel bad about it. What about you? To establish one relation do we need to break another relation? Why people cannot maintain their friendship with their friends after marriage? Is friendship ends after marriage?

I have noticed this also. It changes even more once kids are born as well. I think once a person marries and has children they don't take as much time outside the home for friends. I hate that because I like spending time with my friends. I am married with and child and I can still find time, even if it is just a telephone call.

that makes me feel sad..i have not experienced such things as of now...but have seen people balancing both their friends and family..probably after marriage the responsibilities are more and the time to be spent with family n spouse is demanding more time...it completely depends upon the individual..i have also noticed that men are able to maintain their relationship with their friends and have good contacts compared to women even after their marriage...

yes even i have observed this with my friends. They dont visit me often after they get married. I guess marriage keeps them busy. ~pinks~

i think you are correct, there is no need to spoil a relationship when starting another. after marraige many friendships are spoiled. may be those people can't balanv=ce both of them.

that's what i've observed also..but then it depends upon the people whom your friends are....maybe it's just a transcend which a new life begins after marriage..and you know i know marriage is a very different thing ...compared to being single..and for sure life changes time after time so with our..outlook ...so bear with it...everything changes in this cycle world...just admit ..coz' truth shall set us free..

i think there a lot of things that change in a persons life after marriage...he needs to give time to his partner....so he can no longer hangout with his friends....but it depends on a person how he deals with the situation.....and give time to both his friends and family
