...When someone gets married, some friend inevitably at least feels forsaken. Andrew is clearly saddened by the realization that he is no longer the person Ben connects to most easily. Ben cares too much about Andrew to want him to feel cast aside. Both are figuring out how hard it is, particularly for men, to make new friends in midlife.

The truth is, the distance between...
