Scenario

When marriage changes lifelong friendships that felt like family

My best friend and I have been like family for fifteen years but now we're both married with kids and our spouses don't really get our relationship. They're not mean about it but there's this subtle tension and I can feel us pulling back from each other to avoid the awkwardness.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The arrival of new primary relationships is reshaping a bond that predates them, and nobody knows how to navigate the competing loyalties.
