When friends of mine get married or get in serious relationships, I am happy for them. But I am also (selfishly) disappointed, because that means less time hanging out with me and sharing life experiences. I see this in a similar way -- I perceive many employed friends as being tied up time-wise by the combination of work and (for many) family. Often, they fall off my radar because they wouldn't be able to help out with interesting projects due to exhaustion from work or due to work-related restrictions.
