Idk why but your post made me think of something.
in addition to the idea that things change, I thought I would elaborate. Think about that best friend you had in HS or college.. over time things change, you were so close and buddy buddy in college but then one or both get married, The focus becomes the spouse, it's natural that the best friend becomes a bit less in that situation. add kids and of course even more so. The focus becomes family as opposed to your buddy in school when you were single and free and living an entirely different life.
This is only one example but over time lives, as I said, change, therefore a lot of times priorities, focus and values change.
