So here's just a little more tough love for you. Understand that all of us live our lives in seasons. Right now their season is to be wives and when you are married, your life becomes about your family. It's not necessarily fair but it's real. Now on the other side of that coin, understand that people will only treat you the way you allow. If you allow yourself to be someone who is always available, then so be it. If you also allow yourself to be a landfill, then so be it.

You have to take some accountability for that. Be intentional about the conversations and people that you entertain. It's so, so necessary for your own peace and well-being. A true friend will never treat you that way and this doesn't mean that they don't care about you. It could simply be that that friendship has expired.

Embrace the fact that not everyone is meant to be in your life forever. Go make some new friends and forge ahead. If you're truly bothered by the way they are treating you, then speak up and express how you feel.

I know how you feel Carol. I had a friend that was all about the guy she was with and only contacted me when things went bad. That’s no friend. A friend would not want to only hang or talk when things, guy or otherwise, got bad. If she can’t be a friend through it all she’s not a friend at all.
