A Friend Who Grew Distant After Marriage

Assalamu alaikum everyone. I’m not Muslim, but I have a lot of respect for Islam and have really enjoyed my visits to Muslim-majority countries. I wanted to share something I’ve been wondering about. I had a female friend who got married not too long ago. Before that, we used to chat regularly, and she always struck me as a genuinely kind person, both in how she treated me and others. After her marriage, which was a family-only event from what I heard, she became really distant. I’m not taking it personally or anything; I’m just curious if maybe it’s because her husband prefers she avoid interactions with non-mahram men? How common is this sort of situation?

Could be. Marriage often changes social dynamics. You're right to not take it personally.

It’s common practice to avoid unnecessary interactions. Probably nothing personal, just following Islamic guidelines.

Lol, totally normal. My cousin’s wife stopped talking to her guy friends too.
