A wedding makes you feel like you’re losing someone because you ARE. Marriage tends to be a fairly sweet deal for the bride and a lot of sacrifice for the groom. The ‘marriage trap’ metaphor has more than a little truth to it.
Your real estate issues are a constant worry for me. How will this all turn out?
Hey Exile – don’t you worry. I’ll do any worrying that needs to be done :) Everything will be OK. I am dealing with the matter, and the results will be reported here.
I just hope Teaching Practice Friend doesn’t drop me. Neither do I want her to start bringing her husband round too much, which would make it all polite. Our teaching practice was a long time ago and I hope those twenty-five years of friendship and phone calls aren’t going to come to a sudden, marital halt.
Exile on Pain Street - tish. Don’t tar every husband with the bitter brush.
Whether you lose the friend to marriage really depends on the friend involved, and her husband. Although not married, my current companion is quite comfortable acknowledging my older friends as ‘pre-existing conditions’, and would do nothing to stop me from spending time with them. Along the way? He’s made a few new friends…
And EoPS? Really? That’s a very traditional look at marriage… mine was nothing of the sort. My ex-husband had very few friends when we met, and i did nothing but encourage him to track down the ones he missed the most and re-connect…
