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.

Thank you all for you thoughts, over the years I have found that friends have came and gone but just not for this reason. A couple of them have settled down and I
have decided that the one that is still being nasty and trying to make me feel guilty for being happy has the problem not me and that I will be here for him if he needs a friend but I am keeping my distance ( he knows were I live if he needs me) . I was just finding it hard that I was in a way being judge and punished for nothing I had done. My partner and I are still very happy and are looking at moving in together very soon (two large houses and lots of kids and pets to merge) should be fun, I'll be here for me friends but I am going to concentrate on me and my happiness.
