When You Get a New Lover....

[juicylips]

do your friendships suffer?

Do you find you spend most of your time with your new love and you don't see or talk with your friends as much?

I think that is a price most of us have ended up paying at one time or another......


......apart from people who have had a long-lasting lover or even one who became a spouse.

Perhaps there is a lesson for us all there ?

I hear complaints about spouses who are always gone and running around with their friends and leaving the other home and alone. I often wonder if that was the case during the dating part of their relationship.

Love can fuck you up in so many little ways can't it

On the rare occasions when I have fallen in love, JL, every cell and sinew, every thought and prayer, every word I speak and write or read, everything I see or hear, every piece of music, and of course, every project I have, is related to strengthening and developing the bond with the person I have fallen for. This doesn't leave a lot for the people around me - but it's not all bad news for them. I might take more time and effort over preparing a meal for them because I am imagining it is for my lover; the children might find I'm behaving atypically and be amused, curious and excited, find themselves travelling to unexpected destinations; my priorities change, so the environment those close to me live in changes - and change is always an opportunity for growth.
Overall, though, for me it feels like being a teenager again.
Thrilling, uncertain, boundary breaking, terrifyingly full of potential and quite out of control.

Yes!

And it bothers me! Over the past 5 years I had been in a relationship I lost all contact with old friends. Now I have none! It really bites!

You should do what wizbit does and go crawling back to them.
