Lifestyle Relationships

So question to both..

Do you people socialize with each other?

Married folks, do you continue to socialize with your single friends?

And single folks, do you with married ones?

yes.

Re: Married People and Single Friends

I have a few married friends and we continue to socialise. I think the point at which many people cut down on the socialising a bit is when they have kids, especially if they are the first within their social circle to have kids.

Married and single...we continue to socialize.

Heck no. Singles don't know how to socialize. I can't take husband wife jokes coming from singles anymore.

No.

Re: Married People and Single Friends

Re: Married People and Single Friends

Yes.
Married people don't have the flu. Why would you stop socializing when someone gets married?

Re: Married People and Single Friends

Yes, I socialize with my married friends, in fact I socialize with them more often than I socialize with my single friends.

Re: Married People and Single Friends

Now follow up questions..

What kind of socializing is it that you do? Is it like...guys only/ girls only hanging out.....or like you guys have family too?

Secondly, why are old people's friends' still single :( Thats so sad....

Re: Married People and Single Friends

^We basically do the same things we did before, such going out to lunch or dinner, shopping, simply hanging out and the like. It usually involves the same circle as before and their spouses on some occasions (i.e. meeting for lunch).

As to why older people would have single friends at their age, it's possible that said single friends are divorced or widowed and chose not to remarry or simply chose to stay single. I don't think there's anything sad about that as it's their decision not to remarry or to stay single and they're likely content with it.

Re: Married People and Single Friends

yes of course

Re: Married People and Single Friends

Yes, I do. Sometimes it is just me and my girls or a female friend. Other times it is me and my husband hanging out with our group of friends which includes some couples and some single guys and girls.

My preference, however, is married friends with kids. I can just relate to them better. We have similar lifestyles, values, morals etc.

Some of my single friends still go clubbing (in their 30s). This is just not my scene. I was SO over that stuff a LONG time ago.

Re: Married People and Single Friends

My married friends, their wives don't let them anywhere near me, forget inviting me over. I am like a messenger who brings news of hope and freedom, telling them about this world where men don't have to whisper in their own homes, where they can watch cricket, where they don't have to buy minivans, where they don't have to pretend The Notebook was a good movie.

Re: Married People and Single Friends

yes i socialize with all my married friends but the frequency has lessen down with few of the married friends as they get super with managing homes, work, kids and in-laws.

19

Re: Married People and Single Friends

yes but less. Before marriage I had no married friend and after marriage I have only one single friend in contacts. Married people have same interests and discussions like kids, future plannings, home management, in laws etc and same for single ones.

Yes we still hang out with our single friends. Sometimes separate or together. My cousin is still single but is always having get togethers with all of her married friends and single as well together. We usually do game nights or dinners out. Game nights are fun, once you go into teams you forget whose married or whose not.

We have two groups of married friends, one are very nice and usually are talking about things other than just married and home life. But then we have another group of married friends who we can't invite with our single friends together because they make it awkward for our single friends. Topic usually surrounds around home life, inlaws, community gossip etc. All are our friends but we enjoy the company of our first group or my cousins friends.
