She Told Her Friend To Stop Joking About Wanting To Be With Her Fiancé Because It Makes Her Uncomfortable

Every once in a while, it’s complementary and fun to have someone comment on how good-looking your partner is or how jealous they are that you have someone like them.
But when it happens too often, things can quickly get uncomfortable.
One woman recently had to confront her best friend and ask her to stop making flirty comments and jokes about wanting to be with her fiancé.
She and her fiancé are in their early 30s, have been dating for a few years, and have been engaged for a little over a year.
She has a best friend who’s been in her life since starting her relationship with her fiancé. She really values her relationship with her friend, but recently, her friend has been doing something that makes their friendship awkward.
Ever since she and her fiancé got engaged, her friend has made comments about wanting to be with him every time she sees them.
Her friend will say things to her fiancé like, “When you get sick of her, I’ll be available!”
Her friend has also told her, “If you don’t want him, I’ll have him,” and “He is perfect. If only I met him first.”
“The issue is that since we got engaged, she says at least one comment every single time she sees me with or without my fiancé,“ she explained.

“My fiancé even commented on it. If it had only been once or twice or sporadically, I probably would not have said anything.”
She decided it would be best for her friendship if she said something to her friend, as her remarks made her and her fiancé uncomfortable.
When she talked to her friend, her friend said the comments were very innocent, that she was very happy for her, and that she was mostly saying those things to “remind her“ of how lucky she was to have a “good one.“
“[My friend] is very self-reflective [and] goes to therapy,“ she explained.
“My fiancé and I suspect [she’s doing this] because she has almost everything else ‘set‘ in her life like a great job, she’s very financially stable, lives in a city she loves, [and has] lots of friends and family. The reason I said anything is because I do value our friendship so much, and I didn’t want this to fester internally and manifest itself in me being a bad friend.”
Was she wrong to tell her friend to stop making those comments about her fiancé, or was it a good idea?
