Marriage ruins friendships

Hello, I have a friend who I used to work with several years ago. We still had maintained a friendship even though we don't see each other everyday anymore. It's more like lunch every couple months. I'm not very good at keeping in contact anymore than that. She lives about an hour away too. We used to talk on the phone about 2x a month. Well since she got married a few months ago I never see or hear from her. She has only called once (maybe twice) in maybe five or so months. This is probably typical. I know she is busy with work and trying to get pregnant and all that. Has this happened to anyone and what did you do about it?

I had a similar situation. I had a friend who as soon as she met someone, she stopped returning my calls. Then she wanted me to be in her wedding. Of course I confronted her on her absence and the reply was that she was getting to know her fiance. I don't buy that. If you are truly friends with someone then you should take time for them. In this day and age it doesn't take very long to shoot a text or email. Everyone is busy! Only those who don't appreciate your friendship behave like that.

not with everyone i think it happens to those whose partner is more of a demanding.i think friendship do not require more time or regular calls.if you understand your friend then with the minimal talk you will still be in close compartment with him/her...
