10 Nigerian Women on How Marriage and Motherhood Changed Their Friendships
Marriage, children, relocation and work can reshape even the closest friendships. Ten women share how their relationships with friends changed after settling down. Some friendships survived because both sides made time, supported each other through illness and included their families. Others faded after friends stopped receiving invitations, felt judged for being single or child-free, or struggled with controlling spouses and family expectations. Their stories show that friendship after marriage takes intention, communication and room for women to maintain their own identities and support systems.
