Please don't give us the couch. And please don't expect us to just be available to fit in with married people's schedules. And please don't say, "You have to understand that [other person] is MARRIED, so they're busy." I get that having kids make you busy, but I don't see why two adults think they have less time than a single adult. Not to mention that saying that is completely invalidating. You basically told the single person that they aren't important, their time doesn't matter, and that they don't have a "real" life.
