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.

Of course it is ok to be happy, you have been, as you say, blissfully happy for years. What has changed, not you or your husband, he still loves you and you love him. Don't let others problems get to you, yes they are friends and you try to stand by and help your friends but if they don't want your help or even your friendship you just have to 'let go'. It is hard, but the problem is theirs, not yours and if you let it get to you you will be the one to suffer which it sounds like you may be already. Otherwise, why are you asking the quetion in the first place?
