When longtime friendships lose their depth due to life changes

My college friends and I used to share everything but now that we're in our thirties with different life paths, there are all these topics we've learned not to bring up - kids, money, career success, relationship status. We still love each other but we're becoming strangers who only talk about safe things and I miss who we used to be together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The group has developed protective boundaries that preserve the friendship's form while slowly eliminating its essential intimacy.
