Video: Newly Wedded Woman Cries Over Losing Friends

After her wedding, a woman breaks down in tears, sharing how friends have stopped reaching out, leaving her feeling isolated and struggling with post-marriage loneliness.

A newlywed woman has opened up about the unexpected loneliness she has been feeling since her wedding.

In an emotional video shared on TikTok, she expressed sadness over how her friends have gradually stopped reaching out, leaving her feeling isolated.

She struggled to put her emotions into words, admitting that a strange kind of emptiness has settled in since she tied the knot. According to her, the usual stream of messages and calls has nearly vanished, making her feel as though she is no longer included in her social circles.

“There’s this emptiness, loneliness that comes after getting married. I feel like there’s this feeling you get after the wedding because, subconsciously, your friends tend to shift away from you,” she shared.

She further explained that even family members assume she has settled into a new life, giving her space without realizing how isolating it can be. “Your family assumes you now have your own home, so they give you space. And now, you’re trying to bond with a new family. I feel like it shouldn’t be like that. I mean, nothing really changed, I only got married. You shouldn’t stop calling me, you shouldn’t stop texting me.”

Her heartfelt words resonated with many, sparking discussions and a flood of reactions from people who had similar experiences. Some sympathized, while others shared their coping strategies.

One user, RuthMG, recalled feeling the same way in the first few months after marriage but found solace in focusing on career goals. “I experienced this too at first. I threw myself into job hunting, landed a role with the NHS, and now I’m transitioning into tech. It will pass.”

Others had different perspectives. Chantel pointed out that married women are often unintentionally isolated by their single friends. “People say married women cut their friends off, but the truth is, single ladies isolate themselves from married women because they feel they don’t fit in anymore.”

Another commenter, Foxy-Joycee, advised keeping busy to combat loneliness. “Get a job or find something productive to do. When you’re occupied, you’ll just want to rest when you get home. You won’t even have time to feel lonely.”

For some, marriage had little impact on their social life. One user, Alluring libra being, shared, “I can’t relate sha. Once I’m home with my husband, nobody else matters.” Meanwhile, another, lilian, admitted, “I’m an introvert. My phone is my best friend, and I don’t even have friends, so I don’t feel any different.”

The post has ignited conversations about the changes that come with marriage, the shifting dynamics of friendships, and how different people adjust to their new reality.
