I can relate, after the birth of our kids, I have invested almost everything into my family. I spend energy ensuring my wife and kids lead happy fulfilled lives, my former life be damned.

I don't regret it at all, but I do occasionally grieve for the end of other aspects/phases of my life.

I'm in my 40s and am exactly the same. All my energy goes into work and family and at the end of the day, there is nothing left for cultivating friendships.

I tell myself that when my daughter grows up and I have more time I cultivate friendships again (though I may have forgotten how to).
