Welcome, welcome, Naomi! You should meet Sharon (syf), one of the other moderators who married young as well and who has Strong Beliefs about how valuable friendships are to married folk. She's the one with the impressive verbosity and generous heart, and she'll probably be nosing around here soon to welcome you, too.
I also married young (at 21) and can testify to the great wealth of long, gorgeous, female friendships. Don't be too hard on your marriage, dear one! It needn't cancel out an ability to cultivate relationships with girlfriends---and we're honoured to be test subjects as you try finding out how marriage and girl friends can share the same living space in your heart.
