OT: Married people and single people CANNOT be friends....
Trina...I think this is a very skewered topic of discussion...I don't believe it...it is all about who you bring into your circle. I do not believe if you have a great girlfriend and you (or she) gets married that it takes you out of the equation of being the same friends...with different statuses.
And reading what I have read, it seems to me that most of the time these issues are all about a woman 'protecting' her marriage/mate, etc. from her single friends. Sounds like someone is worried that the single friend will receive attention from the husband, etc. I am a firm believer of making sure your relationship with your mate is TIGHT...tight enough that you are not insecure about having friends around.
JMHO

I have to disagree here Mack.
Sorry but in my life I KNOW for a FACT that it's more about the quality of women you hang with.
I have 12 SISTAHS.
We have been Friends forever. (20 years for some of us)
We have all been single, single Mommas, married (happily and not so), separated and divorced and we still hang together hard.
We will crash on each others couches, feed each others children, grandchildren, dogs and cats.
We help each other move and recruit husbands, boyfriends or brothers to lift boxes, fix a furnace or AC, replace broken bricks and cut the grass.
We have helped a sistah lay her husband to rest and we lost a sistah and had to help her husband lay her to rest.
Our respective husbands, live-ins and boyfriends are considered BROTHERS and are MOST definitely OFF LIMITS.
There is NO jealousy or cattiness. We truly desire the best for each other.
Don't get me wrong we FIGHT!!! We FUSS and CUSS like you would not believe. But at the end of the day a SISTAH is forever in your corner. She might tell you about yourself while she's there but she's got your back regardless.
Now these sistahs were each hand picked. They were voted into the circle and this circle has been a closed one for 7 years. Thus my use of QUALITY. They are the kinda girls you can party with, drink with, pray with and cry with. We believe in each other and would never DISRESPECT each other for a man or any other person.
I believe women whether married or single have a whole lot to offer each other and my life has been greatly enhanced by my Ladies Night Network Sistahs.

Nooooooo Waaaayyyyyy!
Hey Mack,
I've been married 30 years and ALL of my closest
friends are single. Most of them were married but now
divorced (for years) a few have never been married.
We hang all the time and they know my house is the one
to come to, especially on holidays. We all go out together
sometimes, my husband being the only man ...... just did
it Labor Day weekend.
I don't know Mack this might be the situation with younger,
newly, married couples but older secure couples love and
support their single friends.
