My friends seem to be jealous of the time I spend with my fiance. I've known them for about 5 years now and they're two years younger than me (28). Our relationship evolved from seeing each other every day (college years) to me having a full-time job and now a fiance. We went from seeing each other every day to perhaps once a week. They tell me that they cannot believe that I choose to spend time with my fiance and his family over them considering I live with him and can see him every day and they believe that I definitely shouldn't be hanging out with his family (mother and sisters) more than I do with them.
Anyway fast forward to dress fittings this past weekend where I just had to deal with moodiness from them and passive aggressive behavior. From not wanting to try on dresses, ignoring me half the day (I just felt like the third wheel to my own dress appointment), and making comments about how old they were getting and they can't imagine being older than they are now (I'm two years older than them).
Another good friend of mine who is also in a long-term (soon to be more) relationship with her boyfriend told me that they perhaps do not connect with the way that our friendship has grown. That everyone gets older and changes their lives and at this point in their lives they just want to have the girls time and do not understand planning for a wedding and a house and kids (they also freaked out when I said we really wanted kids and would probably try immediately after the wedding).
I love my friends but feel like I must distance myself as I do not feel support in the path that I am heading down and I don't want to spend the rest of my life justifying my personal life decisions.
Anyone else lose (or become distant from) important relationships after their engagement?
