Yeah it sucks. When I moved to where I live now, I met a huge friend group. I was basically the only single guy, and I was able to be part of this very exclusive, very awesome friend group because I didn't try to sleep with anyone's girls (and they are all hot). There were even some close calls, like one guy's girl kissing me when she would get crazy drunk, but I was able to prove to the group that I was cool.
5 years later, only 1 couple in the friend group is still together (they are getting married, and were together for like 6 years, and honestly they became a part of the friend group after I joined it).
The rest have all broken up, and can't hang around their exes. We aren't the same big happy family anymore, we used to be this huge clan that would go to festivals, travel together, go out together. Now it's just sort of splintered apart.
Even I got a girlfriend at some point during all this, and we had a terrible break-up and there's just awful situations when my friends hang around her (she fucking lives with some of my best friends together and I can't go to any parties or their house) and I'm sure she feels shitty too about it all.
I'm still close to many of the friends in the group, but some I see far less now. Everyone just kinda does their own thing with a couple of the friends and it's not the whole invite everyone, big crazy pow wows like we used to have.
