My best friends are a married couple that I just got to be friends with right before their wedding. We've known each other for almost 10 years now, and they've been right there with me through every awful relationship and absolutely love the current guy. I've been with them through problems in their marriage and the births of their three boys. They've been invaluable to me in so many ways, although there are times I do have to be with my single friends. There are times that being with the married friends is a little much, and yes, lots of our activities revolve around or at least include the boys, but they've known me as "Aunt Crystal" since they were born and I absolutely love them. We were friends in college and all of our families live in different towns, so we've basically been an extended family to each other. The boyfriend and I see them at least once a week and even kick the friends out for a night alone while we take care of the boys.

Now, I also have another married couple that we're fairly close to that drive me insane because they can't be apart for more than 15 minutes without calling each other constantly. I mean really - do you have to call him or text him every five minutes when we're hanging out?
