after you get married do you maintain your single friends as tight?

When I got married for some reason I became more interested staying at home and taking care of my husband than going out with my friends like i used to do when i a still single, although i still go out with my friends but with limitations and much better to ask them to come over in our house than going out.

I think the life changes a lot after marriage. It is hard to maintain the relationship with your friends as well as usual. Since your time will be focused on your family much more. You will have less time to go out with your friends, especially when you have children.

It has happened to me. My single friends at the time still wanted me to go to clubs and do things single people do. I was no longer interested in doing those things since I already found my husband. So, it changed things... I was no longer looking for someone like they were so we did start to have different interests. I would rather hang around someone's house and have a conversation rather than go to a club looking for men. Your on two different levels at that point and you do feel like you have nothing in common any longer...

After my first marriage I lost everybody (family/friends etc) because my husband did not want anyone to come to our house (he locked me up) and he said it was too far visiting them (although his family/friends were way further away). After this (my 2nd marriage after being single for over 22 years) nothing has changed. If my husband would make a scene out of that he can leave. A friend, someone I thought was my closest friend like a brother, did dump me as he heard I would get married. According to him I would change or something would change. He was not willing to wait and see first if that was true. So in the end it's fine he did end our friendship. Since friends who don't trust me or believe in me I don't need in my life and I don't want to waste energy on them.

A lot of my friends stopped talking to me after high school and even more after I had my daughter but not after I got married. My husband has many single friends that we are still friends with. No we don't see them all of the time or talk to them every day because they as well have life's of there own and they aren't always free and they know we aren't always free and that we don't always have a baby sitter to watch the kids so when seeing people we plan things out.

I think this happens a lot. It is because you have moved on and your single friends haven't. It is the same if you had a baby and your friends haven't any children. You want to relate to those who are going through the same experience as you. So, without intending to, you end up leaving behind those who are not sharing the same experience. We tend to want to find people who we can have 'common ground' with - common interests and we are looking for support. It is a lot easier to find that support with people who are going through the same experience as we are in our lives.

There's little changes after the marriage. Of course you have now responsibilities to your wife and her family. You priorities change. I am a friendly person since I was a kid. I have hundreds of close friend around but after I got married the time I give them is only small percentage unlike before. Another thing, when I was still single I can go anywhere to hang out with friends but now I can't. My wife always ask me where I go, who's with me. It really sucks. Later, all my friends understand my side

As for me my friendship with my single friends was not really affected when I got married. Maybe the frequency of our time to see each other was somehow affected because of the new role and tasks I have to do, but they did understand my situation and were very supportive. I always make them feel I am the same friend that they have and have never changed. Although, friendship is not just about going out and spending time together I believe this is very important to maintain the sweetness. We do know that we need fellowship so we make it a point to see each other although not as often as before but when we are together we make the most of it.

Hmm well my best friend is single and I am married it just depends on how that person is. Like if you have friends that party and live that type of single life then it will not mix well when you get married, but if you have some laid back friends then yeah. I mean I can get around my friends and not make them feel awkward, so I keep hubby talk to a minimum basically. I mean it just depends on how they are and how your standards are there is nothing wrong with having single friends it is just you have to know that you are married so there are certain things that you may not want to do that's all. I can say that it never has happened to me which I live away from my friends and my best friend, but we still talk like no other haha. Something that you have to think about though, because yes you can feel like that at times.

In my own experience, I have somehow lessened my "connection" with my friends for a time because I did not have much time to be with them, most especially if they wanted to go out for dinner or go clubbing. My husband doesn't want me to be out late at night. Besides, I don't earn that much and I am too shy to be going out with them if they would always be treating me.

Yeah I have experienced this. I think it has a lot to do with now most married people have greater responsibilities once they are married and now spend their free time with their new family member. Not that single people don't have responsibilities but they are usually have more freedom to do what they want when they want without having to consider another person.

It changed me a lot when I was married already and had a son. Before I used to be with my single friends and went out always. But when I was married I can't go out anymore with friends all the time because I had my husband already. I still have to ask permission to him and if he doesn't like it I can't go out. Besides that there are many responsiblities at home and attending to my son. Marriage is totally different from singleness. In being single all you think of is yourself and with marriage you think of your family already.

Yes. its true. Because before your marriage you dont have much responsinbilities. So you can spent more time with your friends and your friendship circle may grow. But once you got marriage you have kids, wife and the life style completely changed. You have to spent more time with your family instead of you your friends.

Though we try to do it, but in the long run, we have to let them go !

I have many friends like this who have just stopped being friendly or even stopped being in contact anymore. I have to force them to talk to me. I don't know why is that they do it. I remember i was friends with this guy since 3 to 4 years and when he gets married he stopped messaging me. And one day his wife gets up and says stop messaging my husband i mean what the heck before he even married i was friends to him and now what? i stopped talking to him anymore. This behavior frustrates me.

Maybe this is true but not for all cases. This might be true for an instance if you spend a lot of time with your close friends before getting married. Of course you you should spend more time with your partner rather than your friends. Some would let their spouses be in the circle of friends not to just spend time for both parties but at least they would know your friends much better, building trust as well.

I'm guilty of this. When I married my husband, he becomes my new best friend. And my time with my own family and friends get cut because I also have to bond and spend some time with my in laws. And with that, new home, new adjustments and added responsibilities. I rarely get to see my friends. Some if hem I still see but not as often as we used to.

Yes,its true. After marriage we have to avoid close friends that to opposite gender specially.Our partners doesn't feel secure because of those friends. But there are some people who thought with open mind doesn't abject these relations.I saw some people like these also. Finally after marriage our relations with friends also depends on our partners.so sad..

after marriage it is really not possible to again spent time with your single freinds.to a certain time duration you can share and go along with them but the same does;nt for a longer time. The main reason is your priority shifts to the new person who has entered. But as such you need not to always sacrifice your old relations , you can still maintain- thats true freindship

:d :D I will answer you after I get married :D
