friendship scales and such

as you get older your friendships become quite interesting... or should i say, friendships get quite intersting once you get married. actually, they become nonexistent.

this is a fact of life. seriously. don't be naive, dear friends.

if you will be honest, it starts when your relationship with your significant other becomes serious. your friends assume (which we all know what that leads to...) that you would rather hang out with your girlfriend or boyfriend. however, they still invite you guys along. life is still about a 8 (out of 10) in the life of friendships. but then, once you get engaged, you move to a different level. your friends assume you will be busy planning or wanting to spend time with your fiance. and yes, you have a new sense of responsibility and maturity, but lets be real... we all need a friend. so on the friendship scale it is about a 5 or 6. and it keeps going down until the day you get married. and then you are on a different planet it seems. your friends assume you would rather be spending time with your hubby or wife. which is all good, but again, it is good to have friends. on the scale it is about a 2 or 3. seriously. only being 21 and married, i have managed to keep one close friend. and we rarely spend time together. my interests have changed, i will admit. i no longer desire to talk about cute boys and such, i have my own thank you. but, i still love to dance, have good conversation, have fun, and just hang out. i don't have cooties. i am just married.

i can only imagine what it is like for those who have children...

i guess it is a cycle that continues on. maybe your only friend is supposed to be your significant other and your children. ha.

i should put out a personal ad. that says,
'married couple seeks friends:
if you don't like pina coladas and you like to play the wii,
if you're not into rap, and have a whole brain,
if you don't like staying up to midnight,
we're the friends that you have searched for, meet us and we can play... the wii.'
