Pushy friends

[TaigaStar]

I know I'm not alone in this:

You have a friend who gets into a relationship. Everything you do with this friend now has to involve their significant other. They ask you when you're going to find someone every time you hang out with them. You find someone, then go out on some double dates. They up and get married. The double dates now involve "When's the wedding?" Maybe you get married, the question changes to "When ya having kids?"

Absurdly annoying? Discuss.

Tough one. I've never involved my friends in my relationships. Never double dated or let my friends hook me up with their friend(s). Easy to get out of with less people involved.

HAHA, I got used to have friends like that. I stop talking to them. My life is SO MUCH EASIER NOW ! ! ! and they are broken up, single, and trying to apologize to me.

I met/dated/married my wife without their interference. Just got to a point where it was like, "we can't just hang out as 'the guys' without you dragging her along." Just found it obnoxious to lose one of my best friends after having to answer why I wasn't mirroring his existence.

We're politely ignoring his ego, or how sweet his lady used to be, etc., by the way.

I honestly never had any friends like that, but if I had I'm sure I'd have found them annoying as hell. But there was one pushy old biddy, an acquaintance of my mother's, who made the mistake of asking me why my wife and I took six years to finally get pregnant. The real answer would be that we wanted to plan responsibly for our first child but my response to her was "It took us six years to figure out that you can't make babies with spit." My mother mildly chided me in public but later in private confessed that she was silently laughing her ass off.

Of course, you must find a good balace betweek Friends and Lovers. You can't always invite your friends when your hanging out with your girl or boyfriend. And you can't always bring your Boy or Girl friend around your friends all the time.

There are Guy's night out, and Girl's night out.

Also for your friends that become pushy when they get into a relationship. You have every right to get pushy when they become single. By saying stuff like:
-So are you still going to have kids with her?
-How's that love forever thing working out for you?
