Don’t want to be bothered with my friends?

I will start by saying, I love my friends! BUT lately I just don’t want to be bothered with them. I’ve been with my boyfriend for about six years, we’re raising my older son, expecting a new baby, and looking at marriage.

Being in a serious relationship my priorities are just a bit different than all of my friends. I work full time, help my boyfriend run his business, trying to start my business, homeschool my son, etc. My friends are amazing but most are single and having “Hot girl summers” and fuck boy problems. Some have no children so they just think I can pick up and go with no planning like they do or sit on the phone talking about rubbish all day. I can’t, I’m busy.

I went on a girls trip to Orlando a few weeks ago and although I enjoyed myself, I was over the make-up and heels that hurt my damn feet. I was tired of having all those deep emotional talks 24/7, the indecisive debates on what to do each day. You know, just women being women. I wanted to rest since my everyday is so hectic but NOPE we were running all over like chickens with our heads cut off. After day two, I just wanted SPACE and ended up leaving 2 days early. I enjoy vacations with my boyfriend and our son much more than I enjoyed that 😩

I notice myself not even answering the phone for my girls sometimes because I’m in no mood to talk about guys and bullshit. What’s happening to me? I feel bad. Has anyone else just grown out of friends like this?
