relationships ruining friendships at uni

we are in the second year of uni now and have moved into our houses and well, its rubbish. at the end of last year most of us found partners, great you might think. but my friends lives seem to revolve around their other halves. they literally spend every spare minute of the day with them and sleeping around each others houses. essentially the rest of us dont see them except maybe bumping into them in the morning for breakfast, going to lectures with them or bumping into them by chance, and thats if we are lucky. they dont even go out as much anymore coz they are constantly 'tired' from having to share a bed with someone every night, either disrupting each others sleep or doing the 'other' thing in a bed. and even when they do go out they bring their other halves along and just sit in the corner kissing and giggling and not socialising with the rest of us. i myself have a girlfriend but i believe i have the balance right between her and my friends as i see her maybe a couple of hours a day and spend the night with her a couple of days a week. they on the otherhand are just bordering on the obsessive. basically, how do we get our friends back?
