QOTW June 6th

This is based on a conversation with a friend this past week. She was saying that now that a lot of her friends are married and she is single, she does not see them anymore because they do a lot of activities with other married couples.

 So - do you and your DH do more with other married couples or do you still hang out with unmarried couples or single friends?

Re: QOTW June 6th

  • We have a good mix of single and married friends. We hang with both. However, I think we're starting to gravitate more towards our couple friends.
  • We haven't changed - we still hang out with the same people we did before we were married.  It's a mix of married and single people...I know what your friend means though, because when I was younger a lot of my friends got married and then would have dinners out and game nights and get-togethers and wouldn't invite me because I was single. I got married at 29 but a majority of my friends got married between 22 - 25.  I think they were trying to be nice and not have me be the one single person in a group of married people, but I didn't care about that, I wanted to see my friends.  They kinda formed their own little clique.  We're still friends but obviously I migrated away from them and towards people that included me regardless of whether I was single, dating someone, or now, married.

    H and I dated almost 6 years before we got married so our friend groups have merged and blended and we have a large circle that all know each other.  Like I said, it's a solid mix of married and single, andI don't see any reason why that would change now.  In fact, I want to make sure I don't turn into that married person that never sees her single friends anymore!

  • We still hang out with the same people but there tend to be nights when the couples get together and nights when everyone gets together. The single friends get together often too to go out but not all of the married couples go out as much.
  • Our friends and when/how we hang out didn't change after marriage.  However, more of his local friends are couples and more of mine are single.  So, it was a natural divide.  
  • I haven't noticed anything changing with our friends after we got married.  We have a mix of married and single friends.  In fact, I feel like we hang out with them a lot more now.  One thing I did notice was that a good amount of our single friends are now engaged.  But, I don't think it'll change how often we hang out or with who.
