friends adjusting to your marriage
Is anyone else having trouble with close friends adjusting to you being married?
My best friend and MOH does not seem to understand that we have been super busy since returning from our honeymoon. We have been back just over 2 weeks and have not had the chance to get together. DH and I have returned to work, started getting our finances combined, changed my name, and found a new townhouse to rent. We plan on moving the first weekend in October, so soon we need to begin packing.
Every time my friend and I chat, the conversation seems to end with her being annoyed that we are so busy. When I am free, she is not. She makes me feel as though I am a bad friend even though I know I am not. She just does not want to hear no when she wants something.
Any advice? Thanks!
Re: friends adjusting to your marriage
I mean, there's not much that you can do except explain to her what you've had going on lately that has prevented you from being able to get together. She needs to realize, married or not, that people get busy. It's not like now that you're married you're going to be busy for the rest of your lives and not be able to see her. You're just getting settled into your new life and that takes some time.
You're not a bad friend! You're just busy right now....it happens. She'll get over it.
