Is it possible for a women to maintain the friendship smoothly after wedding?

Hi dolmitta, In my case, I did not keep my friend after marriage, not because of culture reasons or anything like that. I just did not find anything in common with them any more. I saw things in a different prospective. They didn't, they kept being who they were and that's not bad. Their friendship turned into a jealousy type of thing with me cuz I wouldn't go out with them anymore. Instead of them being happy that I got married and was happy and life changes, they were just thinking of themselves, who are they going to go out with and stuff like that. So I think it really depends on the kind of friends you have and how understanding they are.

You are right. I think it is not a problem faced by South Indian women but women across India (I'm not too sure of other countries). It is expected that the focus of the woman after marriage should be on her family (husband/mil/fil/sil/bil) than her interests or friends. People who do the contrast get into the bad books of their inlaws and may be this is why people prefer attending to their new in-laws than maintaining their old friendship. Many of my friends have stopped contacting me after they got married and i though maybe it is because their priorities have changed. And after my marriage i lost contact with many of the other friends too
