Thank goodness I never had to experience a friend of mine flirting with my husband. I doubt I would be okay with that, so no.. I don't think we would still be friends.

I had a friend who tried to flirt with my husband the first time introduced her to him. It was very very subtle but my husband and I picked up on it. That was the last time I ever saw her or spoke to her. She was one of my oldest friends but she’s always had an envious side to her. She’s out of my life now.

Why would you put up with it? I would cut it off then and there. It is disrespectful

Yea, I had a boyfriend stealing “best friend” from high school. Needless to say, I dumped her. And it was before she met my husband. Good riddance to that drama lol

@Amalia there’s always that “best friend” isn’t there?! And then u grow up and realise they were never your friend to begin with. Good riddance.

For real! Seriously! We were “best friends” for 10 years, and with another girl. She got a job out of college that made her some cash so she also started controlling us and telling us we didn’t have money to spend. That was the last straw. Haven’t spoken to her in 10 years, but heard from our mutual best friend that she isolated herself from most people and wants to settle down but clings hard after the first date so they run fast.

@Amalia ah I see. It’s interesting most women that like to go for their friends men or men in relationships have deeper need to be validated… like it’s an additional ego boost if they are able to be ‘the other woman’ or ‘take ur man’ so it’s no surprise in her adult life her desperation is on full blast! Such a shame!

Right?! It sucks! Especially when you’re close to people and have the kinds of friendships that run deep. But good riddance to that energy. I hope ladies on here realize their worth and find the strength to get rid of bad eggs, romantic or just friends. 🤷‍♀️

Tbh, he’s not “allowed” to have female friends. Ok ok, it’s not an allow/forbid thing in this marriage lol but we do have an understanding of what friends we keep around. My tiny circle is either married or we go way back where that wouldn’t even be tested. Same with his friends toward me. There was a line established a VERY long time ago. It was made clear before we made it official.

My husband has a group of 6 other guys friends, they all grew up together since kindergarten. My husband is 10 years older than me so he’s known them longer than I’ve been alive 😂😂 4 of the boys have wives and their marriages are 10+ years each, I’m the newest wife and we’ve been together 7 years almost. They have 1 girl who joined the group in high school and she likes to remind the wives that she was there first🙄 and is stuck in the past still in high school. That shit is obnoxious, like move past it. I’ve started calling her out on it

@Meagan I hear u and agree with u. We have similar boundaries in my marriage we don’t really have friends of the opposite sex. The way I see it that all changes when u get married. I’ve found all the friendship, emotional support, and whatever ull get from a male friend in my husband and vice versa. So I hear u on that.

@Amalia good for u for calling her out! It’s not about who was there first it’s about who is there now and last which is u his wife so she needs to know her place. Old friend or not… grow up! Ur not in high school anymore 🤣

Exactly! I’m just so curious about human nature sometimes and what makes people act a certain way 🤣🤣

@Amalia Hey! Me too! Well, sort of. We live in my husband's hometown and there's a tight circle of 4 and broader circle of 8 or so childhood friends (and their partners) who still get together. A couple of the hometown girls love getting toasty and reminiscing. 🤮 (I'm actually the only one in the group from outside the region, so I'm forever an outsider.)

@Katy I am too, we grew up in the same area, but I met my husband when we were adults 🤷‍♀️ I’m the newest group member, and the youngest. But after we became serious, I started planning holiday bbqs and hangouts, so now that we have kids we’re getting together more and more. We just tried axe throwing and loved it! (And the 1 friend spent the whole time reminiscing 🤢 with the boys instead of actually throwing)

I had a childhood friend who LOVED stealing my boyfriends growing up. Well I put a stop to it when my then boyfriend(now husband) told me she slipped into his DMs less than 2 months of me dating him attempting to get him to flirt with her. Thankfully he didn’t let it get past the first message and we haven’t been friends since and that was 12 + years ago.

@Lorri🌱 I find that behaviour soo desperate and disgusting. And the funny thing is a lot of men don’t even go for it (don’t get me wrong some dogs will) but there are a handful of decent men that are out off by that and will shut it down!

@Katy usually it’s the ones that don’t have a lot going for them now that tend to live in the past and want to relive ‘the good old days’ 🙄🤢

I’m completely with you! My husband instantly came to me saying “ isn’t this your friend you just introduced me to? Why is messaging me like this and how did she find me so quick? “ 🤦🏻‍♀️ It’s a shame they can’t find their own happiness and have to try to ruin others. Karma finally came for her so hopefully she’s humbled herself since then.
