" Attention, couples! No one but other couples wants to come over to your house for dinner. That's fine and dandy that you love cooking. Cook your face off. But I'm not in the marriage with you so I find it snug--but not in the good 'as a bug in a rug' way. When single people sit at your dining room table with you and your spouse we feel like your kid--the one you're secretly disappointed in for still living at home at age forty. "
