i don't understand people who can't seem to maintain friendships. i don't know where i would be without my friends. i know once you enter a relationship, your friendships tend to shift around a bit, but by no means does that mean you should no longer be friends with people.

i still have friends from grade school and college that i talk to often. i have friends from the different cities i have lived in and still keep in touch with them. even if i can't see them often, i still talk to them with regularity. keeping this blog also helps keep in touch with people.

maybe i make friends easily, but i am also able to maintain my friendships, regardless of being married. i just don't understand how people suddenly let go of their friends when the get into relationships.

i know several girls who only have their husband or boyfriend's friends. i just don't get that. don't you need your own friends? people that have been there for you and understand you?

don't get me wrong; i'm all for joint friends. it's great to hang out as a group and all, but you totally need your own peeps. it's just weird. i mean, what if you break up or get divorced? if they are his friends, they will most likley stay his friends, not yours.

i know i'm a pretty independent person, but i just don't get only having one group of friends. where's the fun in that?

even c, who comes from a tiny town, has his friends he grew up with, friends from college, friends from grad school and friends from work. to me, that's normal. sure, i get along with his friend and i even hang out with some of them, but i still maintain my friendships. he likes my friends as well, but we still have our own peeps. i just don't understand how people live without their very own peeps.
