Scenario

When marriage changes a close friendship

My best friend and I used to tell each other everything, but since she got married two years ago there's this careful distance between us that neither of us acknowledges. We still see each other regularly but something essential has shifted and I miss who we used to be together, though I'm not sure she feels the same loss.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Love's expansion can feel like abandonment to those who knew us in a different constellation of intimacy.
