You know you are getting old when you realize that your social circle consists primarily of married couples. These folks have been your friends for years. Only now, they've paired up. So you hang out with them together, yet you are strangely left out in the process. The past 2 weekends I have done just that - gone out with married couples in what I've come to coin as the "triple date". You all 3 go out and do something date-like - eat dinner, drink cocktails, take walks on beach, go to movie, etc. The only exception is that at the end of the night, only 2 of the parties are getting kisses, and one of them isn't you.
I can't help but wonder is it only a matter of time before they turn into Bridget Jones' "smug marrieds"? Will Colin Firth actually come to my rescue? Or when they start having babies does the triple date get abandoned in favor or the traditional date and I am relegated to becoming the sitter? I suppose only time will tell.

Oh, it will be a future of Smug Couples - not that i've seen/read Bridget Jones Diaries, but i have a good idea of what it means. and yes, there may be some baby-sitting in your future as well! sorry to have to confirm this all for you. Just wait until you start going to the bar and bat mitzvahs of your friends' children!
