It's not every day that I disagree so strongly with doglove.
So, I'm going to need you to tell me if I'm feverish, or if this girl really is kind of a smug married twit who thinks she's SOOOO much more mature than her single friends just because she has a ring:

Not clicky. Deal with it.
Re: It's not every day that I disagree so strongly with doglove.
lol @ "I have one single friend and I hope she meets a nice guy someday."
Nah, she's definitely smug twit.
I agree with you. Ugh, that post is insufferable. "You know, because we have other things to do the next day that take priority in our lives." Bite me, Mrs. Wilson!

Smug married.
DH and I do the same things with our friends now as we did when we were dating and/or engaged. Most of our friends are *gasp* single.
Marriage does not magically make you better or more important. I do not understand.
I was thisclose to leaving that quote in and saying something nasty, but I didn't.
Agreed. H and I turned into old farts way before we got married, but we still don't shun our single friends. Helll, even our single friends are old farts.
I had a hard time even getting past that part of the post honestly...I mean do they go to the Vegas strip every night?? The other part that got me was being so annoyed about his friend suggesting she get a cab alone...I mean come on your DH can stay out for a while without you, you don't always have to got to bed together cause your married. Clearly I have taken a cab home alone so my DH could stay out later with his friends when I didn't want to, just cause I am feeling lame doesn't mean he has to be too!
I'd like to know why I wasn't offered a job upon getting married! I didn't realize that the two things were interchangeable.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
What responsibilities is she referring to that magically pop up when you have a ring on your finger? I would leave the bar early on a work night before I was married.
DH and I do the many of same things now that we're married that we did when we were single.
I'm so curious about this as well. Why was I not terminated when I got divorced? Why was my XH unable to keep a job during our marriage? Where can I find a nightclub that's open till 8am? I could just go straight from the club to my job.
She's a smug married and she'll be an even smugger mommy.

This is exactly what I took away from that post. Do single people not work?
I vote smug too. I also vote "WTF WAS TARPON THINKING?!" which is a fairly common vote for me. But seriously:
Does she really think all of her single friends are just jealous because the OP got married and they didn't? This seems incredibly unlikely, and I don't know how she came up with such crap.
I just realized what is really going on with that poster. She's not a smug married, she's in aging denial.
She's just OLD.
and tired.
lol
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!

Yea... I definitely got a smug vibe. Or at least a "better than them" vibe.
Sorry, I didn't suddenly have new priorities because I got married. I had the same priorities I had when I was engaged and dating. And yes, my priorities shifted now that I have a kid. And shifting again now that I am getting divorced. But, I don't think my single, child less friend are any "less" than me. They just have different prioroties.
Anyone who thinks they are better simply because they got married or had a kid, needs a good "Gibbs slap"
I'm diagnosing worthless people all around. She's an insufferable twat and her friends are the type of people who would be friends with an insufferable twat.
From the OP, I would vote smug married.
From the follow ups, although poorly worded, I vote not necessarily a smug married so much as someone who can't properly articulate her thoughts and blurted out "because I'm married now" instead of "I'm getting too old for this shizz." Either that or she's a hell of a backpedaler.
I'm new here so I've hardly earned the right to an opinion since I'm not familiar with everyone's personalities yet, but I agree there is a little bit of smugness there. I tend to be a homebody, but it's not because I'm married! I've always preferred to be home than out at the clubs. I don't keep DH at home with me though.. he can go out with his friends without me (shock), or if we do go out together, I leave when I please, and he can stay out. So I don't think the friend was out of line in suggesting that DH could stay out... it's just a question, not meant to be an insult. Maybe he thought his buddy could decide for himself. Geez.
Not everyone gets married and immediately becomes the couple's "fondu party and game night" type.
