Preferred term

loss of friends  

Definition

  • By default, many aspects of partners' lives change in the aftermath of a dissolved intimate relationship, including a divorce. Friendships and social connections are not protected from such change, and, indeed, may play an important role in the dissolution as a reason for divorce or as a key predictor of a partner's ability to manage the divorce. [Source: Cultural Sociology of Divorce: An Encyclopedia; Friends, Loss of]
