So, I've been pretty conflicted about this for a while. Should I speak up, let it go..what. Normally I would bounce thoughts off of my partner in crime/best friend. But as it happens, they are the topic of this dilemma.

For a quick sum up, friend and I were pretty much like forest and bubba. Had each others back, talked daily, helped each other through life's tough shit. When he went to war, I sat up all hours of the night so he had someone to talk to. When I was sick and in the hospital, he made sure I behaved. heh Anyhow. Life moves on, he met girl. I like girl, girl and I get along. Crazy friend stuff happens. Best friend and new friend get married. Things pretty much the same. But again, life goes on. Best friend goes to law school. Now, I know has life, family and now school. So kinda hung back and just checked in every so often with either or both. I went though a lot of stuff this past year kinda alone. But I made it. Honestly it's a little rougher this year. And honestly, I could have used the wanker and new gal pal being around. In any capacity. It's been about 5 months since I've spoken to either of them. And I guess I'm just wondering should I just leave them be to go on with their lives. Is this typical when a friend starts a new life? What am I suppose to do with this.

Hopefully this dosen't sound like whining. Just a lot of confusion.

@Rallaa: Indeed.
And the last couple times we did talk it was extremely short. But yes. I have also been getting no replies. In the beginning they would get back to me when they could.

I'm pretty sure i should just let it go. But i get frustrated with myself because i think it sucks. But at the same time i believe they should go on an be happy or whatever.

@Rallaa: Nah. Wife and i get along grand. We were always up to something.
I guess I'll just leave it be and if they ever contact me again, awesome.

I used to be that friend who was a stalwart companion, now I'm married with a job (Just one thing!) and I never have time to support my friends like I really want to. I feel like all I do anymore is work and sleep. If any of my friends called me and told me they needed me, I'd still be there in a heartbeat, I just don't have the energy to initiate sometimes. Or I get myself caught up in a similar "what if" game with why we're growing apart. Perhaps this is what is happening with your friends, they seem to have a lot of new stuff on their plates.
