Thank you for reaching out!
This is definitely a tough situation, but here are a few tips that might help you figure out the best way to handle it and make things easier to resolve.
Limit contact with his friend.
You don’t need to be around someone who disrespects you. Let your husband know that you’re not comfortable with her, and that you’ll be avoiding situations where she’s involved.
This isn’t about causing drama, it’s about taking care of yourself.
If she’s at an event, you can choose not to engage or simply not go.
Make sure your husband understands why you’re taking this step so that he doesn’t see it as a way to create distance, but rather as a way to create peace.
Discuss the future of the friendship.
Make it clear to your husband that the way she treats you is damaging your marriage.
Make him understand that if she can’t respect you, it’s his job to put limits on their friendship. If he isn’t willing to protect your feelings and set boundaries with her, then there’s a deeper issue.
He needs to know that it’s not about jealousy, it’s about respect and loyalty.
Set boundaries with her and your husband.
Tell your husband that you need him to take a stand for you because, at the end of the day, it’s his responsibility to ensure his friend treats his wife with respect.
He needs to put you first, and if he’s unwilling to do that, it’s a sign of bigger problems.
Be clear with his friend that you won’t tolerate her behavior anymore. Tell her that if she can’t respect your relationship, then she shouldn’t be a part of your life.
Setting these boundaries can be tough, but they are necessary to protect your well-being and your marriage.
Don’t let her interfere in your relationship.
Remember that the relationship is between you and your husband, not her.
She might try to insert herself in arguments or play on your husband’s emotions, but you need to stand firm.
