@jvb, cheer up man life is to short to be depressed, and yes you are well liked here.
As for the marriage thing, yes your social life will change and so will hers. You may not hang out with all your friends as much but you will now meet new ones and have new experiences with them.
If you look at marriage from the other side, there is someone always there for you to talk to, share things with, for you to take care of and vise-versa, you don't have to be alone. When a child comes along it makes these things even better. Being a parent and a spouse is the best thing in the world.
Not having these things is what I miss the most. Now I'm depressed. Cheer up Goldy things are good and will get better, yeh they will get better when I stop talking to myself.
