Hanging out with couples

It’s always a little weird hanging out with married couples or couples that have been together a long time. They have this long, tortured history between them that you don’t know about. And then you somehow accidentally stumble into one of their relationship sore spots without realizing it.

I might mention “I’m the oldest of four children.” To which the wife will respond “Four children? Must be nice. I’d settle for one.” Husband: “One would be nice if we could afford it but we can’t.” Wife: “We can afford it, he just doesn’t want to move to the suburbs and be away from his pot dealer.”

Um, do you guys mind if I get out of here? I'm just going to find the closest bar.
