When your best friend gets married and the friendship changes

My best friend and I have been inseparable for fifteen years, but since she got married last spring, I feel like I'm constantly fighting for scraps of her attention and I hate how needy and resentful it's making me. We both pretend everything is normal but there's this weird tension now where I feel like the third wheel in conversations about her life.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The architecture of a deep friendship is shifting under the weight of new life circumstances, and both people are struggling to name what's being lost and what might be rebuilt.
