Best friend being a pick me around husband

Long story and so many fine details. Were in our 30s sheā€™s 4yrs older than us and she also ( unhappily)married with kids.. she met her husband while they were both in relationships and they both cheated and then broke up with their partners - she was friends with his gf ( normally I wouldnā€™t think that mattered but hear me out).. my husband and I were separated for almost 2 yrs during which she mentioned how hot my husband is ( they never had relations as he was out of town the whole time and she had no way of contacting him).. we reconciled, itā€™s been a messy reconciling but thereā€™s a lot of trauma from childhood and therapizing weā€™re navigating through in a healthy loving way successfully and happily.. sheā€™s been seeming jealous of the progress Iā€™ve made in my relationship and i canā€™t vent to her about anything anymore without her defending my husband before supporting or even trying to understand me and she KNOWS me and how I communicate so itā€™s strange that sheā€™s doing that in the way she is.. but then she stopped wearing bras when she would come over and started wearing shorts with her ass hanging out when she came over and was trying to serve him in my own home ā€¦ I noticed but was like no sheā€™s neverā€¦ but then my husband mentioned she kinda been acting like a pick me and heā€™s getting uncomfortable and I was like omg itā€™s not just me!? I confronted her gently and acknowledged that I may just be dealing with betrayal trauma because Iā€™ve been hurt/ betrayed by literally EVERYONE in my life and she took it super personally and stopped talking to me while also assuring me sheā€™d never do something like that and she is hurt because she has had friends abandon her over toxic relationships because she didnā€™t like friends partnerā€¦ but thatā€™s not what was even remotely close to happeningā€¦I told her it feels like shea condemned the friendship since she hasnā€™t been really responding or talking to me and flaked on my bday lunch ( which she offered) ā€¦sheā€™s def being a bad friend right? Iā€™m learning to trust my intuition and Iā€™m letting this friend go for good but someone pls tell me Iā€™m not imagining shit lol ( part of the process of learning to trust self šŸ¤« no judgement)

Ya thatā€™s not a friend you need in your life

Ur not crazy that is her being a bad friend. Itā€™s toxic and the fact that she reacted the way she did when you brought it up to her instead of being understanding and apologetic just goes to show that she did have an agenda. Her becoming defensive and then choosing not to speak with you shows that she was trying to possibly get with your husband because when people are called out for doing sneaky shit they get defensive and act all high and mighty and try to make you look like the bad guy for insinuating it.

I agree with Krystal and Bella... she is not a true friend, and her getting defensive is her trying to manipulate. Let her go...

Bruh you lost me when you said normally it wouldnā€™t matter that she stolen her friends man. I donā€™t fw cheaters even as friends because theyā€™ve proven their character and lack of empathy. Iā€™d lets the trash take itself out and find some girls girls who support you.

@Blair HEARD I say that becuase they were still teenagers and people can grow and heal out of toxic cycles.

I KNEW I WASNT CRAZY! Thank you guys. I take sad that my whole life Iā€™ve been gaslit /abusedto the extent that I was that makes it so hard for me to trust what I see so CLEARLY. Healing is a journey.

Yea I donā€™t let my friends get close with my husband bc I donā€™t want to end up on an episode of dateline šŸ‘ā˜ŗļø

@Girlmama I didnā€™t even let her get close. We never hung out with our husbands together and we usually hang out when our guys are at work but she started hanging out later like she was waiting for him to get here when she was wearing no bra and assy shortsā€¦ but OCCASISONAL thingsā€¦ like her dad came over to help with something and she came with to ā€œhang outā€ or a kids bday bash or big holiday thing..

@šŸ‡µšŸ‡øLorin šŸ‡µšŸ‡ø if you feel something youā€™re right about it 100% we have a 6th sense for this shit I swear!

U did right let her go pls donā€™t never let her back in

The hard part of letting her go is that our daughters were best friends and we homeschool so making new friends is hard. But I know Iā€™m making the right choice

So many red flags she obviously wants your man lol cut that off immediately

She is being toxic, and you definitely don't need her in your life.

@Girlmama lmao. thankfully my husband was repulsed by her ā€œpick me attitudeā€ and not being handsy like this videoā€¦

Omg my husband's friend from our high school recently moved nearby and came over with his wife once over the summer (I knew his friend in high school, but never talked to him). We all mentioned this and I said, "I knew your name, but I don't think we ever talked." Anyway I found out from my husband that I guess his friend's wife does NOT want him over here without her with him even to pick something up from outside like a trailer or whatever. She's like really intimidated by me I guess and since my husband travels maybe that could be something else adding to the fire? My response was, okay? Whatever she is comfortable with but maybe me and her just need to get to know each other more and she will figure out eventually that I ONLY have eyes for my husband and I am definitely not like that. But I couldnā€™t care less about her limitations or whatnot, nor am I offended because her fears hold zero weight. Also if I know we are going to see them, I intentionally dress more conservatively just out of consideration

Woah! That is so sad. She must have some really strong trust issues.

Yall- I have an update. I confronted her gently to see how she reacted because people only get defensive if theyā€™re guilty and it turned into a huge fight where she was calling me a hypocrite and saying I was jealous and resentful towards her becuase she has more support than me.. she completely steam rolled ever anything I tried to say and made it so clear that she has a really negative perception of me saying itā€™s a new perception based on what I said in our conversation šŸ˜µā€šŸ’« She was petty and defensive and immature asf. I think thatā€™s all pretty telling that sheā€™s been scheming right in my face for a long ass time and I was in denial becuase I didnā€™t want to beleive it. Iā€™ve talked more with my husband and heā€™s brought up more instances where she did things and when I mentioned them to me I remembered getting an ick feeling but quickly telling myself Iā€™m just traumatized šŸ˜µā€šŸ’« Iā€™ve cut her off for good and she then started attacking her own child whose best friends with my daughter

Saying any and all she does wrong is my daughters fault šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø
