So... I'm a little confused here. Are you complaining about this trend, or just want people's opinions on why this might be?

I figure I'll let karma take its course on this one. Just wanted to vent.
I think friendships are important in any part of our lives.

If you are complaining/venting, why are you not friends with this one? He at least had the decency to warn you when he saw it coming. Logic follows that you would want to spend time catching up, not laughing at him for having no friends, then blaming Karma.
People change. Life moves on. People are busy. Between work, school, hobbies, and other obligations, there's hardly enough time for friends. If a person has 3 hours of leisure time/week, they'll choose to spend those 3 hours with the one who offers the most perks.
Tt and I try to spend a few hours once/week with friends. It's easy for us, since they all live in the same house, we can drop by and see them all at once without much planning. We might become more isolated when we move this Fall. Though we enjoy spending time with friends (single, married, whatever) neither of us makes friends quickly. Definitely wouldn't break contact with single friends, mainly because the few friends we have mean a lot.
