So, It's always been a struggle of mine balancing friends/family and relationships. Recently, I've kinda been wondering if it's even worth the '' fight ''. I've always fought, so to speak, to maintain my friendships ALONG with my marriage.. because I know how easy it is to be completely consumed by your romantic relationship situation and put off family and friends.
I have a best friend that practically dissapears anytime she gets into a relationship. Just last week, I was talking to my mother in law about how DH and myself differ as far as friends/going out.. being that he perfers not to and perfers me not to.. and her response was '' once you're married, friends go bye bye ''. These things have got me wondering, am I putting too much effort into maintaining friendships? Because everyone else seems to vanish when they are in one while I perfer to try to balance both.
If you are married, in a serious relationship.. how has it effected your friendships/family relationships?
to put this bluntly, are you one of those females that cut yourself off from the world when you get into a relationship? why?
i've never understood it but, maybe i missed the memo that '' friends go bye bye '' when you are married.
