Can someone explain this logic to me? In my mind, those people might as well be saying "After you're married, you have to have girls nights so you can be the 'you' that you were before you were married." Are you not the same 'you'? Why does someone feel the need to relive a past part of their life? When you have kids, you give up the childless part of you. When you get married, you give up the single part of you. When you get a job, you give up the unemployed part of you, etc. It doesn't mean you can't take time to do the things you love doing, it just means that things in your life are now different. Why feel the need to go back and live in the past??
To me, it's like a 30 yr old having to be the person she was in college and start clubbing and drinking and womanizing again (not saying everyone does this... Just throwing out an example) That chapter of your life is closed. Look at what you have know and enjoy your life for what it is!
Idk. I just don't get that logic.
