Her Friend Keeps Acting Really Flirty Around Her Husband, And It’s Bothering Her, But She’s Not Sure If She’s Overreacting
This 25-year-old woman has been married to her husband, who is 28, for two years, and they share a mutual friend group.
She and her husband normally hang out with their friends every single weekend. But, one of her 26-year-old female friends has been rubbing her the wrong way.
“I’ve recently started to feel bitter towards her, and I’m not sure if I’m looking too much into things or if I’m right,” she explained.
Apparently, whenever they all hang out as a group, her friend will always push in front of her in order to talk to her husband– even if she’s already in the middle of a conversation with him.
Plus, if she gets up out of her seat next to her husband, her friend will immediately slide right in and take it.
“And when my husband makes a joke, my friend goes and adds onto the joke and draws it out or laughs to the point everyone in the room can tell she’s forcing herself to make it loud,” she added.
Last but not least, her friend always chooses her husband as a partner whenever they play games, and her friend is constantly trying to touch her husband’s hair.
Now, all of these little things understandably started to add up in her mind and bother her. That’s why she tried to talk to her husband on two occasions, but he always just claimed that her friend already had a partner of her own.
Moreover, he believes that her friend would never do anything to jeopardize her relationship with her partner and is just trying to be “friendly.”

Her husband also told her that if it would make her happy, he’s willing to go “no contact” with her friend since the woman’s habits are obviously bothering her.
That’s not necessarily what she wants, though, because the issue isn’t her husband– it’s her friend. So, she attempted to confront her friend about the inappropriate behavior, but she was basically just overlooked.
“I’ve tried telling my friend to tone it down, but she just shrugged and walked away,” she vented.
So now, she can’t help but wonder if she has a right to be bothered by her friend’s behavior or if she’s really just overreacting.
How would you feel if your friend acted like that around your husband? Does she have a right to be annoyed by the behavior? How should she deal with this situation?
