Is it ok to be happy

My partner and I are blissfully happy and in love, but over the last six weeks we have had four sets of friends brake up. I now find that some of these people are now acting strange around us, like we aren't meant to be happy because they aren't. Both my partner and I have been married before so we know what they are going through and are trying to be supportive but it is hard when they are being short tempered and gloomy all the time when around us it really brings the mood down for everyone. My question to the world is have others found this among their friends, does it get better or have we lost our friends.

Over the years I have found that quite a few of my friends have come and gone. This is part of a rich and fullfilling life. You will make and loose many friends over yours too I'am sure. Don't let others intrude on your special relationship with your partner. This has come about through both of your previous life experiences and perhaps your friends must go through their problems before they reach your level of happiness. All you can do at present is be there for them, listen but don't take their problems to heart.
I was told by a very wise man many years ago. Don't look at loss and change as a problem, but a new beginning.
