I know that things can be touchy subject for some. But, I choose to post it in this section because I would like to know men and women feel about this subject. For sometime now I wondered how come when someone gets engaged, has a wedding date, or even maybe getting engaged; they begin to treat women who are not currently in a relationship like they have the plague; while they often chalk their actions up towards unmarried unattached sister as jealousy. It saddens me because it's not the world that treats them like that..but, it's who attend church every Sunday and do great works for the Lord. What's going on ? and do we begin to break down yet another wall that separates ?

This is just my opinion: I do think that it makes sense, when a man and a woman are in a committed relationship, that it would "alter" how they related to others, to a certain extent. Simply because it takes time to build a real solid relationship.
It does not necessarily mean to completely cut out everybody and anybody, single or not.
I don't even think that it's a healthy attitude. Engaged or not, in church or in the world as it is, they are bound to be around other people...
There could be a lot of reasons for some to adopt that behaviour, but if it stems from some kind of insecurity in the relationship, whether it's the man or the woman, it shows a lack of trust first between the two of them, and then towards the ones that they may have called friends prior to the engagement.
There is a difference between needing some time away from the crowd and being completely isolated.
