What has really got me down however is that I sent them a text yesterday to let them know my wife is pregnant, and even then I got nothing. Not even a simple "congrats"!
I actually feel betrayed. It makes me wonder if they were ever really good friends at all
I've best friends with them since I was 13. (27 now)
Anyone else experience this?
They were friends with YOU. Not friends with you and your wife. What usually happens in this type of situation is that you unknowingly put the wife/GF ahead of your friends all the time, and when you do meet up with your friends, it often ends up being about your wife/GF. You expect the friendship to stay the same but to them, to maintain the friendship they have to accept you as a couple now, not just you. You're no longer the same guy they were originally friends with. It also sounds like they probably don't like your wife either.
Honestly it's a all part of making a life changing decision. There's nothing bad about it, you just made a decision and it does have some consequences. Just don't worry about it and meet up with some couples or married men that choose you as a couple.
