My husband best's friend is cheating on his wife. How do I get him to stop hanging out with him?

This guy is very arroagant and selfish plus he's a jerk. He's cheating on his wife and he's always going out to strip clubs and fuccking everything he can. I don't want my husband hanging out with him anymore but he won't listen. My husband is a good man and a great father and husband but I'm scared that his idiot of friend talks him into cheating on me.

    This would worry any woman. Is your husband someone who would be influenced by this man? Or is he the type of person who sticks to his own beliefs and morals? We are all influenced by the people we hang out with, but ultimately, our actions are based on our own personal standards of behaviour. Most men I know would be completely horrified about the guy cheating on his wife while she was pregnant. And from what you've said your husband isnt encouraging his behaviour. It is possible for your husband to be friends with this guy, even though he doesnt like that he cheats on his wife. They would most likely just watch football or drink beer (or whatever it is that guys do when they get together). Considering your husband has told you about what his friend has told him, I dont think you have to worry about him following along with his friend's behaviour. If he was going to cheat on you, he wouldnt bring up the fact that his mate is doing it. If you had a friend who was cheating on her husband and bragged about it to you, would you feel obligated to cheat on your husband? You wouldnt, because you are your own person who makes her own decisions and the knowledge that your friend had done it would not make you think twice about it. Trust your husband, if he (and he alone) has not given you any reason to believe that he is cheating, then the chances are he isnt and has no intention of it.

    if you want to be a royal be at*ch - you tell him that you feel so uncomfortable about it that if he doesn't stop you will be forced to tell his wife

    I have a friend who didn't fool around for about 12 years - she got her feet back on the ground and screwed anything that moved - and she talked about it to everyone - when my guy heard her talk he didn't say a word but I knew what he was thinking - why would I want my girl hanging around a girl who wants needs craves that much attention from men that when she walks into a bar she starts talking to all the men - so I politely told her that I'd be happy to go for a walk with her or hang out at her house but I wasn't going to the bar with her

    have your husband's friend over for dinner and keep them there - as long as he's not going looking with your husband - he should be fine

    Stop your worrying and leave your husband alone. This guy has been this way for as long as your husband has known him and yet you say your husband is still a good man. That alone proves he isn't going to talk him in to cheating on you. You have to trust your husband. You also have to realize that it isn't unusual for two guys like this to be friends as they tend to balance each other out.

    Basically, you are giving this man more power than your husband, or you, or your children or your husband's position in his life and his community. Do you really believe this guy is THAT powerful?? I bet your husband doesn't feel REMOTELY jealous of this guy but is, instead, quite sorry for him. Make him happy to be yours... that's the ticket.

    Do you trust your man than stop worrying about it. Many guys have friends who are pompous jerks and complete assholes don't mean they are. Unless you have a trust problem and reason to think your man would cheat on you your simply jumping the gun here.

    That's tough. You tell the wife, or give her an "anonymous" note. He'll either be by her side, or be with his mistress. Either way, you'll get your husband back and his wife will know he's a piece of crap scumbag!

    You have zero business telling your husband that he cannot hang out with his best friend just because his best friend is doing something that you don't approve of. We all have our flaws, granted some larger than others. That being said, I would not approve of my best friend cheating on his wife. I would tell him regularly that he is running the risk of destroying his beautiful family by doing so. But I would not stop hanging out with him. But if I were married and my wife told me not to hang out with my best friend, she would be in for a grand disappointment. Regardless of what he is doing, unless of course it is something illegal, I will never stop hanging out with my best friend. No doubt she would try to use sex denial to get what she wants. In which case I would just masturbate. She might even threaten with divorce. It would not work. If she wanted to leave me because she could not order me around, then I would hold the door open for her.

    EDIT: oh yeah, and if my wife took matters into her own hands and decided to tell my best friend's wife as certain posters suggest, I would leave my wife. In other words, she would not have her husband back.

    Trust your husband, you don't have to trust his friend. Allow him to choose who he does/does not associate with. However, make it clear to your husband that he can be friends with this guy, but you are not comfortable with him attending strip clubs, parties with single women, whatever the case may be.

    Cheating is not contagious like the flu.

    If your husband has any chance of being a cheat, it doesn't matter who he hangs out with.

    He is more than likely cheating on you too. I hate to break the truth to you BT why would a good mam with morals associate with someone like that?
