I find that my boyfriend still has the exact same friendships with his friends even though quite a lot of them have kids now. It seems like men's relationships don't change that much? Whereas I feel like my friends are so consumed with their babies now and seem like different people all of a sudden.. which was a difficult adjustment for me. I find it really hard to relate to them now and feel like we have nothing in common . People told me not to worry when i found out they were pregnant, but everything I was worried about has happened.
I think a mixture of distance due to lockdowns and my closest friends having babies in the last 2 years has resulted in me feeling pretty lonely but also just accepting that I don't really need them. I can be content with mainly socialising with colleagues at work/my boyfriend/my family.
