If they don't have many friends as you say, and they think you are their best friends, then they obviously respect and appreciate you. Your other friends may seem just as appreciative, but there is something to be said about quiet friends.

If, for some reason beyond your control, had to reveal your darkest secret, or your darkest secret got out, whom would it be the most safest with? Your loud, gregarious friends, or the meek couple?

Just as you have different collections of CD, MP3s, and movies in your house, so should you have friends. Don't cast them aside because they are not the genre of the day. They might be like country music is to classical, but there is a time, and need for music/friends like that.

Nice to see how disposable people are to some due to a lack of an 'entertainment factor.'

How rich.

This reminds me of an episode of How I Met Your Mother where Lily and Marshall have to "breakup" with the neighbor couple.

Thanks!
You know, this kind of annoys me.

Look, don't see them as often. Have other things going on when they call. But they obviously value your friendship. I think actively severing your relationship with the couple is a bit rude and really uncalled for.

See them a couple of times a year. Invite them to your annual party. But don't just give them the heave-ho.

Someone needs to let the "boring" neighbors know what their so called friends really think about them!
