Friends won't accept new partner

[Lovelymonkeyninetynine]

So STBXH and I were friends with a couple for years. We split amicably last year and both have new partners.
Out friends won't talk about or show any interest in our new love interests. I don't understand, I'm really hurt that i can't share this part of my life with them. My ex feels the same!
Has anyone had this? I know I don't need their approval but it's weird pretending I don't have this part of mr life when I see them!

Some friendships only exist with a certain dynamic. It isn't about the people, but the dynamic that is the glue.

Good friends will be happy you have both moved on and met other people. Bad friends will only care about how it makes them feel and the change to their life. I think maybe you accept that this couple were friends with you and ex as a single unit - not individually. And lean on your other friends who will celebrate your happiness instead of making you feel guilty. Not all friendships need to last forever.

I have a friend like this who absolutely refuses to accept my DP, five years down the line! She literally feigned illness to avoid meeting him briefly last year, when we were in her home city. I have never got to the bottom of it but I value our friendship so have accepted that it has to remain separate. Mind you she doesn't seem to like anybody's partners.... The point is, it's probably their issue, not yours.

Might just need a bit of time so they are sure he’s a fixture.

They might have had another friend or friend who’s brought a parade of new partners by and they are just a bit “wait til they’ve been together a year before getting to know new bf”.

I have to confess to not wanting to meet a friend's partner...this is because I know (through my friend who told me) that his marriage just broke up recently because he was repeatedly using sex workers. She says he is WONDERFUL. I can't bring myself to meet him
