The Couple Zone

I have lost yet another friend to the oh-so-evil Couplezone!

I don't get it, I just don't get it.

They met a year ago, got engaged six months ago, moved in together three months ago and that's practically the last I saw of her. If it wasn't for the occasional phonecall or textmessage, I would call for a searchparty!

I have seen that happen to practically every couple I've ever known.
They go into hibernation, and I'm not just talking for the winter.
And when they're ready to come out and start interacting with other people, that's when it starts getting weird. It's like they're glued to each other, literally. Where one goes, the other is sure to follow, preferably hand in hand or any kind of physical contact at all times, very important apparently.
Sadly, some couples stay glued to the hip forever!


Eventually they'll return to a normal state of mind, 6-8 months later i.e after their "honeymoon" is over and then they'll remember that they actually had friends before they met. But is it ever the same?
It's no longer just your friend, it's "them". The "two" who have become "one"!
Do you really have anything in common anymore?
I guess that's why couples hang out with their equals, and single people with theirs too. It's just two different worlds and sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you just can't bring the two worlds back together.
Am I making any sense at all?

I may not know much, but I do know that "people change, things go wrong, shit happens but life goes on"!

Wonder who's next in line to enter.......the Couplezone!?

You're so right sista!! How harsh it might sound, it's nearly impossible going back to what it once used to be, what u guys used to share. Regarding your last sentence, I'd say you're pretty much the best candidate for that statement ;)
