Why? Because I don't want to hear:

WTF. We're at APPLEBEE'S. You're talking like we're at Tavern on the Green right now or something. No need to be condescending about how cheap you are and try to blame it on marriage.
*"Oh I used to be all skinny like you! You better enjoy it, once you get married, it's all downhill for your body!"
Please don't blame marriage for your mid-20's fat. You just got lazy and decided not to work out.
*"I'd love to be able to spend $20 on a haircut, but you know, we're parents now so we can't afford to spend SO much money on unimportant things. It's just not in our budget."
Are you really talking about a $20 haircut like it's a new Lexus or something? Please don't blame having kids on your cheapness.
*OMG. Those are the cutest jeans. I just don't think spending $50 for a pair of jeans makes sense now that we're married."
Well good for you, but it makes perfect sense to me thanks.
I could continue, but you get the idea. No thanks to the double dates.

I had more money and a better financial situation when I was engaged and living with my former future ex-husband. Married people can actually have a better situation money wise, since they have one household to support.

I don't hate them. I just don't like going out with them.
The only married couple I like hanging out with is my brother and his wife. And mostly because they're pretty much the same as they were before getting married. They're having a baby this summer. I wonder if I'll like talking about my niece or nephew more than I like talking about other people's kids. I have a feeling I will.

Almost all the married people I know are freaking miserable, and complain all the time. The only married couple I actually want to hang out with is a same sex couple because they are exactly the same people as before they got married in a state that recognizes they are a couple.
