To be fed up of Male friends disappearing once they have new partners?

[Batsy]

Just that really.

I've always had a fairly mixed group of friends, but i get on with guys better than girls on the most part.. i've noticed that when female friends get new partners, they tend to join the group as a whole, but the guys don't, they just tend to end up ghosting us.

There are also a couple of guys that i was really close friends with (nothing funny, just friends), we'd go to each others houses, out to the pub, watch films together...etc.. and that also stops soon as they have girlfriends.

Now i get that partners want to spend time with each other, but when they only see their new girlfriend at weekends, and have all week free, including one whole day when they don't work, and we always used to meet for coffee when they were single... aibu to be ticked off that i'm suddenly 'persona non grata' for simply being single/female... its like they're suddenly banned from being in my presence unsupervised

i really feel like pointing out i was here/friends looooong before the girlfriend showed up.. if we'd wanted date/i'd been a threat we'd have been together already.

This thread has changed my life! I was single for years and years (I just got married aged 34) and just did get on with lots of the men I worked with. I wouldn't say I liked them better than women but I've just had some close male friends. I wasn't 'needy' or 'in need of their protection' - we just got on.

Anyway, what I learnt is that married women HATE single women. A woman I worked with who was a friend yelled at me once because her husband drove me to the garage to get my car. He hasn't told her where he was going which pissed her off...

Anyway, I always thought I was being paranoid about married women hating single women. It turns out I wasn't.

I guess the hilarious point you are making is that since you got married you too hate single women. That isn't a general thing, that's just you. I didn't hate single women when I was married for 20 years and haven't found my married friends hating me since I was widowed, fortunately.
