married women, how did you maintain a friend circle after marriage?

I (27F) had a long distance relationship, and got married in another country. I stayed in the other country for about 3 months, when I got back my friend circle had completely collapsed. My friends stopped initiating plans with me or would "forget to pick me up" which led to complete exclusion from plans. I felt like I was being punished for getting married. I already had a small circle, and with my best friends no longer communicating with me, how do I maintain a social circle. I've always seen women get married and then they stop hanging out with their friends b/c they are with their husbands 24/7 but I never knew that it could have been the friends that stopped reaching out to their married friend. I was not expecting this to happen to me, but since it did I am wondering where do I go from here? Do I just go in solo dates? My husband and I are doing long distance, so I can't necessarily tag him along. I was so excited to see my friends after I got married and tell them all about it, but they never gave me the chance or the opportunity to. Do I wait it out? It's so lonely honestly, I see them post each other on stories with a new girl who has replaced me in our trio, and they do not bother to invite me anywhere anymore. Did anyone have a similar experience after marriage?
