[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Divorce does follow epidemiological patterns.

But, that's incidental. I know my wife didn't hang around as much with some of her friends after their divorce simply because their social activities switched from family-focused to those of a single woman -- mainly my wife didn't want to go hang out in bars with single women who had their eye out for a hook up.

However, when we have parties and social gatherings at our house, those women are very welcome to attend. [/quote]

This is me exactly.  I'm very happily married, but with little kids and busy jobs, I do feel wistful about the parties and social life of singlehood.  I have a casual friend whose best friend divorced last year --my friend has spent the past year going to bars and otherwise supporting the single life of her recently divorced friend.  She then announced last week that she is now divorcing.  She thinks her husband is a great guy (he is), but there's no spark anymore (read: she doesn't want to sleep with him).  I still care about her, but don't expect to see her as often.  I don't want to be going to bars and acting the wing-man for single friends; I'd rather give a little insulation to my marriage from that sort of temptation.
