A few pieces of advice:
1.) invite me - one of the worst days last year was in all of my friends made July 4th plans and no one thought to ask what I was doing. It was a really rough day because you are suppose to be at parties etc...
2.) the times when I do complain about being single - don't tell me to embrace my independence, especially when you aren't (and never have been) as independent as me.
3.) don't be condescending - my one good friend keeps telling me I should try meeting someone at church (yeah, I would if they weren't all married with kids or gay...). Seriously, I have thought of this and have even tried changing churches.
Unless she is complaining all the time, just listen to her when she does and try empathsize.
YES. A lot of these also apply to friends who don't have kids, whether or not they are married.
