When Your Best Friend Marries A Man You Don’t Like

There is this weird curveball life can throw you, just when things are going great. Around your late twenties to mid-thirties, you’ll have your social circle on point. You worked hard to cultivate a group of good friends—not everyone made the cut. People have fallen off who proved to be flaky, gossipy, unreliable, or dishonest. Now, you have your crew. They’re amazing. When you get together, it’s so fulfilling and it feels well-earned. But, you can’t keep everybody intact forever. People start to get married and while you can control whom you befriend, you can’t control whom those people attach to later. Suddenly, your perfect circle of friends can have some appendages that you may not like i.e. their spouses. It can feel like a huge betrayal but, hey, they didn’t tell you whom to marry and you can’t tell them. Here’s what happens when your best friend marries someone you don’t like.

You forget to ask about him

You aren’t naturally inclined to ask how your friend’s husband is doing (you know—the polite thing to do). It’s only an hour into hanging out, when she brings him up, that you realize you totally neglected to ask about him.
