Josephina Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Le sigh. So, the majority of our main friendships have been couples. The thing is that my STBXH was always the very social one, and it seems like he has claimed dominance on all the friendships. Seeing as I'm the one who has called it off (for my mental sanity), I guess it is best if I just let go of those friendships, but it still hurts. I've never been very good at making friends, and I'm almost a loner. But some of those friendships go back 7 or 10 years. Does anyone mourn the friendships that are lost or forever changed along the way? Tonight I got an invite to go out for poker/cards night, but alas the STBXH is going, so I won't. I feel squeezed out of my own social circle.
january2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 No, because they were his friends and stayed his friends. I never really saw them unless he was there. I took letting go and making new ones as an essential part of the whole letting go of my former life and rebuilding my new one. Unless you became friendly with any of them outside of your relationship, I'd just let them go. When you're healing, you don't really need the pain of hearing news about your ex nor do you need to be reminded of the memories you made with him.
