lonely + a little aggrivated = tangent!

So lately (lately meaning the past 2 years) I've noticed a big change in my social life since I became one of those married people. I'm not sure why people do this but they tend to forget about you when you're no longer single. I am not someone who has often been short of friends... until I chose to wed one. I am not trying to bash marriage here because its the best and smartest decision I've ever made. That is not why I am writing any of this. All I'm saying is I wish I still had my friends. Granted, most of them were guys so I understand why they never make the effort to stay in touch. However, I try! I do! I send out texts to old friends a lot but it never leads to more than, how have you been? I find its even more difficult making new friends being married. Partially because you have extra people to develop a liking for. (if you're husband can't stand them... how can you continue to have them over all the time? and vise verse? so unfair!) So what is it about being married that makes me a less interesting person?? or less fun?? I don't get this. I don't like this.

I'll admit I am guilty of not calling some of my married friends anymore.. it is harder when they live far away or have children. Oh crap, does this get worse after you have kids?? I'm doomed! Wait, is this why so many people have kids so quickly after getting married??

I love my husband and he gives me everything he can. But he cannot give me the response a girl friend can. Girls need time to be with girls. Its how we work. Sometimes I miss having roommates to come home to. I'm around women all day every day at work so you'd think I'd get my fill right? Nah, work is work. Its the times when you get off work and have no one to spend it with that make you wish you had people in your life that wanted your company.

So any suggestions?
Will joining facebook make me real friends??
Am I crazy? Does anyone else feel this way?
Anyone free next weekend??
