Help!!! Issue with husband's friend???

When the friend's wife starts to disclose too much information, you could say something like, "I'm sorry, but I'm quite (shy, conservative, squeamish [fill in something you are comfortable with here]) and this kind of conversation makes me really uncomfortable. Can we talk about something less (personal, intimate, graphic [fill in objectionable characteristic here]), please?" I find that this will usually solve the problem.

If you're extra-lucky, the wife will think you're stuck up or prissy and they won't invite you again! :-D

Tell them in all seriousness and confidentiality that you and your husband have imaginary friends, and ask them if you can bring a couple of them along.

If they say yes, then wait a little while and call back and tell them about two others that would like to come, etc. Let them know that your imaginary friends are very close.

When talking about your imaginary friends and praising them it is best to speak in whispered tones, and do it over the phone and maybe you can make it sound like you are talking with a straight face, even if you're not. You can freely admit that they are imaginary, but you can speak of them in ways that suggest they are becoming real.

But don't let on that you like your imaginary friends more than your husband's work chum and his wife.

Hey, you can tell them about another imaginary couple that you don't like too much, and you can describe them to sound a lot like <husband's chum and wife> and see how far you can go with that until they catch on. Let us know how it goes. Stay clear of the barbecue.

It makes actual no experience to objective and proceed a friendship with somebody which will bypass at the back of your lower back and talk on your husband. there is not any friendship that significant. Please leaver her on my own and pass on. Your concentration could be how do you end the touch between her and your husband. that is very nearly aggravating which you will prefer to proceed with somebody which you won't be able to have confidence chatting including your husband. Why have pointless drama on your marriage?

I have that problem but, it's not his wife it is a family member who comes to all the gatherings and she is a loud mouth and an instigator. My Fella and I make a pack to leave early if necessary. Have someone call you at a certain time and if you are not enjoying yourself come up with an out.Good luck

If the wife is the only reason, go and just put up with her. When she does something weird, just kinda joking go ewwww or something. Eventually she might get that she's freaking you out.

If your husband really likes this guy,couldn't you put up with the wife just for one BBQ.Just don't tell her anything you want getting around,if all else fails and she is driving you really crazy head for the alcohol,she might seem more tolerable then.Good luck

i say go for a little bit just to be respectful and if things get out of hand and you both feel uncomfortable than make something up and say you guys forgot yall had to do something or meet someone so that way yall dont feel bad for not going it was worth a shot and you wont regret doing it.

Maybe you can have your husband and the guy do something together that dosen't involve the wives...say "my wife is so busy, she's really booked up most of the time...." But if you want, I can probably get an afternoon off to go to...." (the pub, or fishing, or ballgame....whatever--so long as it dosent involve you!) This is a good wat out, I think.

get it done and over with. if your husband enjoys the

company of his workmate, that doesn't mean you have to push

yourself to like the company of his workmate's wife, aka

"freak". just like freak's husband not telling "freak" to

like you. for all you know she's claiming you freak her out, too. LOL Ü

just say something came up like you want visit your mom and you guys actually do it.
