As a result I suck as making new friends. I seriously think I have a social anxiety issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friends-made-after-marriage#post-482670 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 11:05:54 +0000 Weagle 482670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think there definitely is. The only couple that we became friends with post-college whose friendship is most like our college friendships actually went to the same college, but we didn't know each other. (Did that make sense?) </p> <p>I've found though, that it's not hard for us to make great couple friends, but it's harder for me to make close friends. I still feel kind of awkward if its just me and the wife of some of our couple friends. I think making friends as an adult is just hard and strange. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friends-made-after-marriage#post-482487 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 08:25:57 +0000 heffalump 482487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Actually, the majority of DH and my friends are still those who we've known for many many years, before we met. So I guess I don't know. My friends are mostly from preschool and kindergarten, and his are from middleschool and preschool and I've become friends with their wives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/friends-made-after-marriage#post-482480 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 08:17:27 +0000 MaisyMay 482480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been married 3 years, engaged 14 months, dated a year and a half, so it's been a total of nearly 6 years! I find it intriguing that there are people who have never known my DH and I not as a couple. We moved when we'd been married about 6 months, and there are people who never knew us before we were married. </p> <p>I feel like the relationships that we've formed with people who didn't know us before marriage are more "grown-up," or more "adult" that those who knew us as goofy college kids or growing up.</p> <p>Do you find that the relationships that you formed after being a couple or married are different than those from before? is there a different dynamic? </p>
