Is it normal to not hang with friends that much when I have a girlfriend?

When I was single, i hung out with my friends a few times a week. Now that i have a girlfriend i want to be with her more and i have a busy life with family and my girlfriend that its wearing me out to hang out with friends a few times a week. I still want to have a relationship with my friends, but i want to limit hanging out to maybe once or twice a month, sometimes more, sometimes less depending on what I'm doing. But is it normal to not hang with friends as much when they have a significant other?

    That is a normal part of maturing. People who continue to try to do what they did at 22 all their lives are pretty pathetic. It's like acting like you're 9 when you're 18. Most people move through the young-single age to the married-with-family stage, to the time when their kids are grown, and they are hopefully in good enough health to enjoy traveling, doing things with friends, etc. again.
