It's really starting to feel like my friends no longer like me. My old friends no longer contact me or respond when I make contact. I suppose that's the natural progression of things when you move to a different town. But it's only 45 minutes away so idk what's changed. We would get together every month or two up until we bought the new house. Which btw is closer to them then the house we rented previously.

My newer friends here same thing... Don't contact at all or respond if I try to contact them. I know that getting married so recently may make them think we want our space but we've lived together for 6 years nothing has changed really. Idk. I have no clue what's going on. I'd ask them but they aren't even responding to a hey how's things text. Calling isn't something I feel comfortable doing.

It's really starting to hurt and I miss them. I feel lonely and isolated and rejected. I don't have many friends so it's that much worse. I feel like there are no friends. I also see them getting together via fb pictures even though they told us they were too busy. It's just so hurtful.

Sorry for the vent. Thank you if you read it!

Hello Shawkat2009: I'm sorry you are having this experience. The Skeezyks reads a lot of posts here on PC. And, based on what I read here, I'd have to say this experience seems quite the norm nowadays unfortunately. People just seem to drop people for no apparent reason... or at least for no reason that one can discern. I don't know... maybe it has something to do with living in the "digital age"... I'm reclusive. I have no friends. So this is not something I have personal experience with. Perhaps, as you say, having gotten married has somehow changed things in your friends' eyes. Hopefully they will come back around. But, if not, I wish you success in finding new friends along with your new spouse.

Well nothing has gotten better. No responses no msgs. I'm done. I just want to cry. This is a huge set back. I've got my husband and I've been friendless before. Just a lot of pressure on my husband and I feel really lonely. I'll get by I suppose. Even here only one person responded. I apparently have friends here... Well I thought I did. Thanks Skeezyks!

Have you asked your friends why they get together without you when they're reportedly too busy?


I once felt similarly to you, turns out my friends thought they were doing me a favor because they know I'm not the "drinking buddy" type and I find drunk people highly irritating. So I was being deliberately excluded from "lets get drunk" get togethers.


My point is, there's possibly a reason behind your exclusion, good, bad or ugly, best way to find out is to ask directly.


If they can't, won't or don't answer, then best to find yourself some new friends.
