What's your situation of opposite gender friendship in your late 20s and 30s especially after marriage? Are you still as close to them?
I saw a conversation here and it had me thinkings, what's the situation of your opposite gender friendship in late 20s and 30s? Because mostly the opposite gender friendship is just dead at that point.
During schooling, college and around mid 20s, you have friends from opposite gender, some very close that you hang out with, call, chat, share your things, meet, go to restaurants and movies as friends.
But I believe towards late 20s people start to part ways and segregate themselves based on genders, Females only hang out with few of their female friends and men only hang out with few of their male friends.
That girl or boy you were friends with, the relationship becomes thinner and thinner, the distance grows.
Not that you aren't friends anymore or lose complete contact but theres no frequent calls or chat or hanging out.
Specially after marriage when spouse and kids get involved, the friendship just dies and you guys become college ko sathi ho and things limit to hi hello only. Because your spouse also becomes your friend, and they replace your friends. Your wife or husband hanging out with another girl or boy from college, going out, having calls chats can create problems.
Except for casual conversation, hi hello, group meetings, I have never seen opposite gender friendship continuing in late 20s or 30s, especially after marriage.
So what's your situation or opinion on this?
