Married People and New Friendships

[(Anonymous)]

I'm at the age where most people are married or getting married in the near future. Someone recently told me that if I try making friends with coworkers who are married or engaged, it's a waste of time (especially as I don't have a boyfriend or husband, so it's not like we can do a couples night - they didn't say that, just throwing that point out there).

But even with that in mind, is this really true? I did make a married friend before, after all - we drifted for other reasons. And I know married people with single friends. So I'm not sure I buy it. But I'm also not married/engaged.

Thoughts?

I'm married. I didn't really make friends in college, because moving and all that, and I didn't really make friends after until I moved in with my husband. We have a good mix of single and dating, but we're the only two married in the group.

It really just depends on luck. Some couples are only interested in other couples, but not everyone is.

It's definitely harder, especially if you're not looking to do couples stuff (with your own partner), which we're not really that interested in.

Not impossible, but they're more likely to prioritize other engagements over you, and jealousy can come into play.

As long as both parties understand there'll be different demands and obligations on each other's time, I don't see why not. You're far more likely not to gel with someone on the basis of personality and likes/dislikes, not marriage status.

I think that's...kinda silly? But it depends on the person, really. Some people who are in couples only really like doing things with other couples, because they always want to be able to involve their SO.

My husband and I both have a lot of single friends and do many things apart. We also have some mutual single friends that we're able to hang out with together. It's definitely possible, but, like I said, it depends on the person/couple.

Depends on the person?

One of my best friends is engaged, and I like the guy and all, but we still hang out without him all the time. I would hope that everyone would spend time away from their partner occasionally, because it's weird when people bring plus ones everywhere. I have friends who are dating each other and look sad whenever they're divided to pee in different gendered bathrooms.

In my experience, it's definitely not a waste of time, but it can be hit-or-miss. You may have more success with people who have already been with their spouses for a good while (they don't need to have been married long, just in the relationship) since they are likely to be more setted into their relationship and willing to devote time to other things.

I am married, with married friends and single friends. It's all good.

Plenty of friends of mine are married and we are still friends. Sure immediately after getting married they're a bit distant what with the honeymoon and all but on a while I don't see much difference between them and friends with a partner.

Now the single friends with an obsession with not being single ...eh :/
