Winning a spouse but losing a friend  We normally think of weddings as the beginning of something beautiful, but they are often so transformative that they bring hidden things to light.  Weddings are profoundly symbolic celebrations that represent the beginning of a new chapter in the couple's life; most of the couple’s friends gather to cheer them on into this new adventure, and typically everyone celebrates until dawn.

Wedding Results in Losing Most of the Invited Friends: ‘I look around now, a yearish later, and only 2 people from the entire bridal party are still in our lives (minus our siblings).’

Heartbreak and unrequited feelings also happen in friendships  It’s a peculiar kind of heartbreak. One day you find out you’re not as important as you thought you were in your friend’s life, and it’s terrible. You might have been living in a fantasy, just like it happened with some of your adolescent romances. It’s okay; we’ve all been there.
