When long-term friendships change after major life transitions

My best friend and I have been close for fifteen years but since she got married last year something has shifted and we both keep pretending everything is the same when it's not. We used to talk every day and now it's maybe once a week and when we do talk it feels like we're both performing our old friendship instead of figuring out what it looks like now.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are grieving the loss of an old intimacy while struggling to birth a new form of connection.
