When a woman get married, it seems that all her life's focus has been shift into the family, the husband, the kids. They have less and less social lives with her friends, even if they do, the topic will always be focused on the kids, the family, the husband, is that ture? is that all we want?

one thing is true that the married women dont have much of time to spend on friends and anyother topics what she use to do before getting marrried. she is loaded with the responsibilities after getting married and if she later have childrens then again the responsibilities increases and she finds no time to spend even on herself and she has to remove time for eachof her own activities and also divide time for the family and her own needs and joys, this is what i experience n feel about it. one thing we can realise that all friends after their studies get busy in their ownlives and jobs and we hardly contact eachother and here there is no point of being married or unmarried.

agree! family responsibilies in one big thing for married women, and taking most of us spare time. we shopping for kids more than us after get married, we shopping for family more than us after get married. Our friends do the same thing.

Alot of married women tend to have children and do not get the time to go out with their friends.Alot of women tend to get married and settle into married life and yes they do seem to have less friends as they are more picky who they go out with.Some husbands do not like their wives to go out as they can not cope with any children they may have as well as they should spend time together.

heard that some guys don't like their wives to go out, lucky i don't have that kind of husband, in fact my hubby wants to go out with friends so that he can go out with his friend insteading of accompany me all the time, but too bad, like most of the married women i don't have a lot friends to go out with.

It doest really matter what we want…do we have a choice in wanting to spend our time? I don’t want to be stuck with my family all the time…I want to keep contact with friends, meet them regularly, spend time with them and go out and have fun! But can I do it? NO…if I was rich enough then maybe I would have had hired help at home to take care of my household chores while I am away but I don’t have that much money. So I do all my work myself and then take care of hubby and son…naturally, that leaves me with little time to socialize and it’s the same with my other friends. At best, it’s a telephone call once in a while to just catch up with each other.

This is very true. Since I got married, I found my friend is less and less, my phone call from friends is less and less too. If I have some free time occasionally, I don't know which friend I can find to hang out. A friend of mine got married and had a baby boy, she never call any friend anymore. I think it's quite natural, time and energy is limited, you can't hold everything on your hand at the same time.

don't you find this is sad? specially for the first coupls of years of having baby, women intend to change their life focus on the babies only, even the husband is someone they can ignor. once a friend had said to me that with my little girl, i don't even need my hubby any more. what will her hubby feel if he heard that.
