As a matter of fact, after this weekend I will probably not ever invite her to my house again, because she brought him over on Saturday. I didn't say anything to her about it and was hoping they would behave themselves, but that didn't happen. No, instead, he got high and passed out cold and was barely breathing. I had to call 911 and get them to the house while other guests tended to the stoner. After the paramedics got there, I went through the kitchen and there was my friend, doing shots while her boyfriend was being tended to by EMTs. After I cussed her out, she walked outside and sat down next to where they were, but in a few minutes she came back, and somehow tripped over the lip of the patio, face-planting into the sliding glass door. The EMTs then had to administer aid to her.

I called them a cab and told them I am done.
Oh my!!!


I don't think I would stop being friends with someone because of their spouse. The spouse would have to reeeally irritate me. I would probably try to stick to just activities for us though.

Some spouses I wasn't fond of but only once did I drop the person because of his wife. Some times I like the spouses better than the friend.

Hate to be the bad guy but, yes, honestly I would not want to hang around somebody that I could not stand. That has been a problem for me in my relationships. I just don't see the point in trying to hold it together for appearances.

this happened to me some time back and we have since moved . However I really liked the wife but could not stand to be around the husband and the husband was friendly with my husband and they played golf frequently . When we would go out to dinner I could not stand him , he would dominate the conversation , insist on paying the whole food bill that is just two of the small things he would do that I could not stand . Im so grateful we moved because now I don't have to have the
"hey honey we need to talk " deal with my husband . and another one I like to use is make a downward circle with my fingers and say "this is going to be a conversation " LOL .
