Does my friend have the hots for my husband or is she just trying to cause trouble?

Answered 5 years ago

I spend a lot of time with her, my husband not much but they get along well. Over the past 6 months or so Ive noticed she is taking more and more interest in my husband. She talks to me about him a lot and makes a lot of inappropirate comments like how good they look together in photos - any photo of them she always poses loving/sexing it up. Or jokes about having an affair but says she'd never do that to me. She tells me things they have supposedly talked about like sex lives etc but when I ask hubby he says she tried to but he shut her down. She's always asking me about him and has a 'cute' nick name for him. She is married (I'm pretty sure not happily but she won't leave him) but when we are together directs her attention to my husband and it's like hers doesn't exist. I feel like she says things to me on purpose to try and make me feel uneasy which I never know how to react to so just smile and laugh it off. then go quiz my husband, which doesn't always go well

Then limit the friendship. Catch up with her without hubby. Just you meet her for coffee. Invite her over when hubby is out. Keep her at arms length. You dont have to up with this if cutting her out is not an option!

Clearly tell hubby you are not going to let her shit stirring get between you guys, you are a team against her not against each other.

Call her out on her behaviour to her face when she acts up to your hubby.
Ask her how there sex life is going, in front of everyone, oh you seem a bit sexually frustrated it’s seems like your eager to jump his bones with all this inappropriate attention. Have you had too many drinks? Should I make you a lime cordial... I have fresh mint. Have you changed meds or something (the i am worried about you approach , not angry) make her feel like a dick

She's not your friend. A friend doesn't act like that full stop. She's trying to get his attention for whatever reason, to prove she's better than you, for attention or to try nab him for an affair. Tell him you don't like the way she acts around him that it's inappropriate and you're going to put in boundaries and need him on board to do the same. Be a team about this. Call her on it when she poses provocatively say loudly 'um Jess haven't u got yr own husband to cuddle up to leave mine alone thanks!' Etc. If you can't cut her off distance yourself a bit and try to see her without hubby. If she brings him up in conversation deflect it and if she continues again be straight and say 'what's with all the interest in my husband hey?' And seriously if she doesn't take the hint stop saying it jokingly and just say hey I'm not comfortable with the way you talk or act with hubby I find it really disrespectful to me and I don't know why u think it's ok. I really hope there is nothing going on between them it does sound like she has a crush on him at least

You don't need those mind games, she sounds a little psycho honestly. Cut her off.

Agree. As YOUR friend, you need to remove her from your life and your husbands. It is not fair on him for you to allow it and then quiz him on it. You are going to end up the betrayed psycho who only has yourself to blame. Remove her from your lives quickly.

^^^Sorry, but as a married man, it is also his job to put her in her place and tell her not not to be so disrespectful to his wife.

True but if she was a real friend she wouldn't even let herself get a "crush" on her friend's husband. It's unacceptable

Yep, absolutely, she's not a good friend at all, true friends do not do this type of thing at all.

I think she’s being ridiculously inappropriate. Like others have said, she’s definitely not a friend. You could try letting her know that her actions/behaviours are making you feel really uncomfortable and unhappy. I actually don’t think the friendship is salvageable though.

There’s a possibility and sorry to say that there could be something already going on with them 2. I was good friends with my ex affair partners wife and found myself constantly asking her about him and redirecting all conversations to include him, I wanted to know more about his home life through her, the sorts of things that got him upset etc. She never picked up on anything. Keep your eyes open.

Tell her that you hit hubby up about having a threesome including her. He told you that if you (op) we’re having those thoughts that the friend was never to set foot in your home again.
Tell her that some of the shit that comes out of her mouth causes dramas because it make you think she wants you (op) sexually and cause disagreements with your husband.

Twist it all around. Apologise sincerely and tell her the friendship is over.

Or just stop inviting her over or accepting invitations. Sorry my phones fucked , we were shagging in the kitchen counter and it fell in the kitchen sink.

Or suggest to her she get some therapy. Tell her she’s clearly got issues she needs to deal with. Point out her crazy behaviour and tell her that her behaviour is affecting your friendship. Don’t tell her that it’s making issues for your husband and yourself. I would be more inclined to say something like hubby is sick of your shit. MAYBE We can met up for coffee sometime but we won’t be catching up all together.

She is not your friend. No matter what her motives, a friend does not act like that around a friend’s husband. Rude and inappropriate. Ditch her. Bet she will start furiously messaging your husband and he will see her crazy.

It sounds like she is trying to make you jealous. Some women are just so strange but this is what they like to do, just try and make people jealous. I'm not sure how to fix it other than to cut contact, if you say something to her she will assume you're jealous and her ego will explode and she will keep looking for more.

Agree with all that say cut contact. As a woman, I have never, ever understood this type of behaviour. How could you have such disregard for another person's marriage? Especially of a friend's marriage? What a low low level to stoop down to. Self-centeredness at it's finest. I am so glad you are getting supportive answers here. Please stand firm. You are not the problem and you should not put up with this. Actually, neither should your husband. Can he not speak to her husband? Just ask how things are going and perhaps let him know you are BOTH not finding her behavior appropriate. I emphasize BOTH because I feel it is unfair to pin everything on you. She is the problem here.

Distance the relationship and keep open communication with hubby
