“Why on earth would you end your friendship with your single friends because you got married?” –OAP Toolz asks

Media personality, Toolz, is baffled that some people, especially women dump their single friends because they got married.

Taking to her Insta-stories, the mother of two asked if it’s so that the single friend doesn’t lead them astray.

“Why on earth would you end your friendships with your single friends because you got married? So they dont lead you astray or what?” she wrote.

This comes after a Nigerian lady narrated how her newly married friend said she was dissociating from her and her other single friends.

@rubylaren in a post shared on Twitter, said the said friend opened a group chat to inform her single friends that she had gotten married traditionally and would be cutting some of them off.

According to her, the newly married lady said she wants to make friends with fellow married women who can understand her current reality as a married woman.

She tweeted:

“Lol this babe just opened a group chat to tell us now that she’s done traditional wedding, she has to stop being friends with some of us as she now needs to associate with “fellow married friends who can relate to her reality” than us. I quietly left the group amidst the chaos.”

Is it really necessary to abandon your single friends once you get married? Is it necessary to cut off your single friends for no reason once you get married? Why do women do this nonsense? Why do they sacrifice years of friendship and sisterhood on the altar of marriage?

If as a woman, you intentionally and maliciously move away from your friends for no other reason than their marital status and a sudden, unfounded suspicion of their intentions towards your husband, you are not sensible.

Recent studies show that singles have more friends and are better at maintaining their friendships than married people. In contrast, married couples tend to spend a majority of their time with their partner, and often leave friendships behind.
