Do you have friends who are married?

I'm in my 30s and a number of my friends are married. We had a double date with a married couple today. We attended their wedding a couple of years ago too - they got married in matching kilts it was very cute.
 
Yes I have quite a few friends who are married, it's not uncommon now for me since I am in my 30s. I'm very happy for them, I've been to a few of their weddings and hang out with them occasionally even though I am quite single.
 
Have a couple of friends who're married and have kids. One is more of my brothers friend but also kinda friends with me since we were all in the same grade and graduated together? He's just been busy af though. Apparently even too busy to hang with my brother anymore. I don't really see or talk to him but I'm not mad about it or anything, I understand his situation. Looks like being a father's been keeping him very busy. I know I wouldn't be able to handle that.
 
No, people don't get married anymore where I live, they have kids but don't get married. Well some do, but none of my friends is. The only married people I know are more than 70 yo or religious.
 
I am married myself so I guess maybe some of them know that I am. I never really thought about it that much.
 
I haven't spoken to certain friends from high school for over 5 years, but I have indirectly heard of a few of them getting married. Ironically enough, my boss told me about one of my middle school friends getting married to their high school sweetheart (for context, my boss' daughter is friends with the bride), and they've been together since their freshmen year.

I've been living the single life full-time, and while I sometimes become jealous of people my age achieving seemingly successful relationships, I'll admit that I have a fair share of anxiety issues that prevent me from being in one myself. I'm only 25 years old, so I still have time to go out and find my match, but it's not as easy as it seems when real life social interactions are trending down and I have to deal with personal ASD habits getting in my way.
 
I'm in my mid-30s, so yes, I have many friends who are married or engaged. I have very few friends who are single. It is lonely to be single at this age... Even people I never thought would find someone found someone before me... (but I can't sit here feeling too sorry for myself when the truth is I don't put myself out there to begin with. And I just moved, I don't have any friends in my new area yet, much less romantic interests.)
 
I don't think many of my friends are married, but I kniw that I do have one good friend who is married, being @/Foreverfox hehehe 🩵
 
I have acquaintances who are. Their toddler is adorable, too!

I hear too many horror stories about dating to ever want to do it, plus no desire to (despite my thirst lol), insecurities about appearance and personality, etc. But if my friends are in relationships, I don’t feel jealous.
 
I do, I was part of their wedding party! I also have a couple work friends that are married. As for how it feels... idk🤷‍♀️ I'm happy that they're happy but outside of that it doesn't really cross my mind.
 
I used to have a friend who is my age and she was planning her wedding when we met, through our friendship she even bought a house and prepared to welcome her first child.
It felt like such a different world and life perspective from mine, as we were in our early 20s, and even now I do not see myself doing any of these for at least another decade!
 
I have two friends who are married, one of which just happened recently. Most of the couples around me either don't see the point of marriage or can't afford the wedding that they'd like.

I'd like to be married, but I don't have someone I want to be married to yet!
