You know, what's funny is that the opposite happened to me when I got involved with my SO. My friends all but disappeared off the face of the planet after we started dating, and when I called them on it, they said they figured I wanted "space" for my new relationship. Well, isn't it my call to decide how to balance my life?
Like all things in life--it's about balance. We can't expect even the most intense coupling to meet all of our emotional needs, and it stresses our relationship when we expect our partner to be everything we need, rolled into one package.
