Some of my friends who fall into this trap basically fall off the planet. Then when they break up, they return to earth and want to hang out again.
I got to experience this early-early in college. Many of us were couples but we hung out together often. Then one guy's girlfriend got pregnant and they got married. That was the last we saw of him (we were closer to him)...
She wasn't mean. Really stupid/ditsy fits the bill even though I know she isn't as dumb as she acts; it is just how she chooses to act. I can't properly describe it. She has one of those childlike voices where it seems like her vocal cords gave up at age 8 and quit growing, which is not her fault as far as I know, but it doesn't help. She talks insanely loud -all- the time. Asking her to take it down a notch is akin to asking a five year old the same...in a few moments she would crescendo up to her normal volume. She has a machine gun laugh that would kill gophers and squirrels and strip the paint off the walls.
She LOVES to laugh. EVERYTHING IS FUNNY IN LA LA LAND.
This is all when she is sober. It gets worse. Much, much worse...
I think I know that type you're describing. I've met them in milder forms and it can be irritating. I'm surprised your wife doesn't find it irritating. Or maybe since she's know her as that type, she's used to it and automatically filters out the annoying part.

Some women are like blackholes. Once they suck you in, there's no coming out.

I think it wears on her too after awhile, but like you said since she has known her so long I think she can filter it out easily. My girl tells me she used to be a lot more like her friend when she was younger *shudders*, which I can kind of see when they are together. Seems like one of them grew up and the other didn't.
I always test out prospective bf's on groups of my (occasionally eccentric) friends to see how it works. Men come and go; my friends have been with me for decades, in some cases.
My theory (no one else's) is that we are composite images of the people we choose to surround ourselves with. If I don't like someone's friends or they don't like mine, there's probably a problem somewhere. Of course, some of my friends don't like each other, but that's their business.
Yes, but I'm not sleeping with them. There's a difference of degree.
Testy today, aren't we?
And now that I think about it. The ones who don't get along are too much alike to share the same space. Or one's too wild and the other too quiet. Doesn't prevent me from being friends with them. But if I can't stand someone's best friends and I'm their SO, there's something going on. Or if one of my friends tells me that the guy I'm interested in is homophobic and he's gay. There's going to be a conflict. The boyfriend is likely to be temporary, but the friend may be around through three more who don't make the cut.

Ain't that the truth?!

Just asking.
