Is it normal to feel this way about friendship?

After much thorough first hand experience and observation, I have noticed a similar pattern among people. I have always been the supportive/encouraging friend that never denies anyone anything that they need; I am not saying I am an angel. More to the point, many of my friends have recently gotten into serious relationships, and have tossed their friendship with me away. I have thus theorized that some people only use friends while they are single, in order to "make it" until they find a relationship. This does not have to apply to EVERY situation, but this has happened to me, so many times, being the friend that was left behind. They almost seem to forget who their friends are, the ones that have been there for years, just for a chance for a new romance. Is it normal that people do this, and that I feel this way about many of my friends?

    A lot of people do this. And when they get married, a lot of women won't let their man spend time with his friends because they have thrown their own friends away!

    Where I live, everybody moves around a lot and it's hard to keep the same friends because of that. The old ones are an hour away.

    Wow, I could have written this myself. You notice it in others but you never think it's going to happen to you. When I was with my last girlfriend, I spent half the time with her and half with my friends. She was fine with it but they were outraged. Then half of them settled down and just fucked off completely. Hypocrisy? Yup.

    I think I'm going to only make friends with asexuals from now on in.
