More and more as friends and acquaitences pair of and begin their "life together" I find myself getting more and more tired of hearing about Junior's latest diaper fiasco, or his C+ on his spelling report, or how the teacher doesn't understand him. These people I simply don't hang out with or keep in touch with any more. Their lives have changed and split off to a completely different direction then mine. Such is what happens, and thats the way it is in life, friends part ways.
And here is how I look at it. Invariably my friend will, after getting married, change. His priorities will be different, and we will soon not mesh anymore. The wedding can be in some manner a form of closure.
I think it's actually the having kids part that's the closure. It's amazing how many friends I've seen transform into Ward and June Cleaver, and how unbelievable self-righteous they've become after having kids, especially men - "Man, the day I had a baby girl, it softened me up...blah, blah, blah"
