I’ve known about the engagement ring for 4 months and been officially engaged for over 1 month, but I still haven’t told any of my friends yet. (with the exception of my very closest friends)

I’m not sure why. I suspect that it’s because I’m scared of further alienating myself from my single friends. We’re all pretty young- around 23. But I’m just in such a different stage of my life relationship-wise. They’re all living up the single life in NYC. Whereas I’ve been living with my fiance for a year now.

Ever since Mr. D and I moved in together, my friendship dynamics have changed for the worse. They don’t call me to go out unless it’s a big get-together. In fact, they hardly even call me anymore just to talk. I don’t know if it’s because they assume that all my time is taken up by him. Or if they don’t want me around when they hit up the singles scene. Or maybe we’ve just grown apart because our lifestyles are so different.

Whatever the reasons, the case is that despite having such a wonderful man in my life, I still feel lonely sometimes. I miss the way my friendships used to be.
