Do people tend to remain close to their siblings after marriage/ getting into a serious relationship? Or does life tend to take over and losing touch is somewhat normal?

Since my marriage my sister and I have also actually gotten a lot closer. I think it’s common to lose touch at first while you’re figuring out your relationship/marriage as that’s what happened once I got married. I’m 9 months into my marriage and my sister and I are closer than ever now!

My younger brother and I have always been close. I got into a serious relationship 1.5 years ago and still hang out w him at least once a week or not more. Also my partner loves my bro so that def helps

My relationship with my brother was spotty well into adulthood. It has gotten so much stronger since he got married, and then even stronger once he had a kid. We are now in touch more regularly than ever before.

Haven’t seen or spoken to my brother since1996. But that’s more about how different we are as people, not about losing touch after marriage.

Hear that. I think brotherhood can go either way. Resentment or fellowship. I’ve had rocky points with my brother as well; working to keep communication open and supportive. Wishing you the best as you surround yourself with people YOU enjoy! 🍻

This is a question about friendships. Two friends got into a really bad fight this past weekend. They have each asked me to hang out this weekend. What do I do? I don’t want to have to choose sides.

The other I’ve known less longer, but we seem more compatible. Advice??

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

Having a moment and wanted to make a post. I lost a special family member suddenly in April 2020. And then another July 2020. And then the most influential person in my life in February 2021. And then another big loss in April 2022. I’m still grieving. Every single day. Some days are better than others. I’ve had heightened anxiety and depression with it. My heart hurts all of the time. I miss them all so much. Some days just seem to be better than others.
