My closest friends are a bunch of men, ages 35-45. All the married ones (with kids) are going through a mid-life crisis and it's bugging the carp out of me. All the unmarried ones are happy as larks and it makes the married ones even more miserable.

I'm the only gal in the bunch which –*for some reason –*gives them the green light to dump all their problems on me. (BTW, they're not trying to hit on me, I don't think... my BF is part of the group)

What to do? I was sympathetic at first, but now it's making me very annoyed. I want to just slap them upside the head and yell, "Stop-being-such-a-crybaby-if-you-aren't-happy-then-do-something-about-it-without-destroying-your-family!"

Does that work? Any suggestions?
