Rules for dealing with your single friends

When you are married and are friends or family  with single people there's some rules you need to remember so that you don't offend or hurt your friends or family.
1) don't view them as a burden
2) don't have pity on single people
3) when your single friend comes to you giddy and happy be careful not to dampen their spirit
4) watch your words don't say stupid stuff ("you're lucky to be single", "ok, where's the flaw", "it'll happen one day", etc )
5) if you know that the person your loved one is dating is no good, say something but say it nicely
6) when the loved one is frustrated or upset about a situation or a break up listen be their ride or die (ride or die means to be there no matter what)
7) if they become bitter or rude when they're not in a relationship, this is a phase, don't be rude
8) be sensitive and kind to them
9) when or if they announce "I'm engaged!!!!!!" make a HUGE deal about it fawn over the ring and the plans.
10) remember that you were once single
11) don't judge or lecture  them for mistakes
12) sometimes we need you to remember we are not like you and your married friends because guess what we are SINGLE
