Mishpacha magazine recently published an article detailing a newlywed girl’s difficult relationship with her single friends. I’d like to get the CR’s opinion.
Married girls: How do you balance your new relationship with your single friends? What do you do when they ask you to set them up with your husband’s friends?
Single girls: What should your married friends do that they’re not doing? And what should they stop doing?
Rule #1: The husband comes before all friends.
Rule #2: The best girls the wife is friends with get redt to the husbands good friends.
Rule #3: Brois before Frois
I hate to sound cliche’ but I blame this wife/friend conflict on technology.
When I got married I barely had a cell phone.
There was no such thing as my friends texting me the morning after i got married, nor did I whatapp pictures of my gourmet cooking skills.
If friends tried my landline and there was no answer, it could have meant I wasnt home, napping or the ringer was off.
We are so attached to our phones that if you dont answer on the first ring, pple feel ignored.
Sollution: Shana Rishona – keep your cell phone in ur coat pocket, hung up in the closet while you are spending time with your husband. This should be a rule that pple know. If its an emergency, thats what the landline is for.
I forgot to mention, dont ignore your single friend.
Call her when ur husband goes out to daven to learn or to work.
I should hope it’s understood that your marriage takes priority.
