I agree with you in part, and disagree in other parts. The whole gift giving thing does get to you. Why can't we single people have a party at say 30 or 35 - a "I'm not getting married party." And invite people, have a band, have a sit down dinner, and have people bring us things like: silverware, nice china, microwaves, sheets, towels, money. Isn't the decision to not get hitched as big as the one to get hitched? I want nice things too! And I am a single income (actually right now a NO INCOME).

Where I disagree is in losing friends that have married and have had children. Some you do lose, others, you work at it and they work at it. You have to be aware that their children always come first, but a good friend can make time. One of my closest friends is married and has two kids Her kids are in their teens now, but I have known them since before they were born. I have been included in so many family moments: birthdays, school plays, little league, first dates, proms, slumber parties, etc.

Tell you friends how you feel. You'd be surprised how many want to be a part of your life, and want you to be a part of theirs.
