This is such a pet peeve of mines.
I have two best guy friends. The moment they went together with their respective girlfriends, they sort of abandon our friendships. They just disappeared altogether. We no longer get to meet for supper, go for movies, have brunches and dinner.
It’s like once people enter a romantic relationship, their efforts in their friendships take a nosedive.
Maybe I’m just feeling salty, but it does feel like people forget that friendships are also a relationship that take effort.
I know people like “low maintenance friends,” but all that sounds like to me is that people just don’t feel like putting in the same effort they do in their romantic relationships into their friendships.
Before any of you get the wrong idea, I am not saying that you should disregard your romantic relationships for your friendships. All I’m saying is that you should still make time for your friendships and not completely disregard them once you’re in a romantic relationship.
That is all.
