I was friends with my ex, but the minute he got married, we both knew that having any relationship, of any nature, would be inappropriate.

Although your situation is different, the sentiment is the same: married men are off limits as close friends. The same is true, vice versa.

Its just a matter of time before you two get drunk and start something. The wife is absolutely right to react as she is doing. If he really is your friend, do the right thing and back off. Find a new drinking buddy.

I do respect their marriage, though it's hard because of how she can be. I have tried very hard to be nice to her and include her.
Sounds like he has had other friends who are females and his wife is well aware of it. It's NONE of your business to try hard to include her. YOU are the outsider and that's where you need to stay. Get out of this marriage and find a single man if your own to chill with. I promise you, this husband isn't thinking you are just a friend. He is thinking it won't be long before he will have you in bed.

Be friends with who you want to be friends with. If the wife doesn't like it, let her get a divorce.

How is that ridiculous? Why is she required to make life wonderful for this man's wife? If that's not a spoiled rotten entitlement mentality, I don't know what is.

Oh yer kidding me. They are hanging out drinking together frequently and to make matters worse he invites his friend over who then has words with the wife. And you think the wife is out of line????

what a terrible sounding evening for all parties involved. i can't for the life of me figure out what this guy was thinking setting this event up

then again the uphill lengths some guys will go to try to hook themselves with a threesome is amazing

the fact you're talking about sexual feelings for each other at all is a huge red flag

when something's truly harmless this doesn't even get mentioned

I think she can do what she wants. Just because someone is angry with you, even with reason, doesn't mean you're required on your part to accede to their point of view. If you dump someone and their enraged, are you required to get back with them?

Sounds like you are just being selfish, insisting on trespassing into someone else's relationship. As advised earlier, his wife's insecurities or other shortcomings are not your concern and should never have been shared with you if either of you respected her feelings in her absence. If you are as wonderful and attractive as you and hubby seem to agree, then you have no reason to settle for someone else's belongings and should be out at a bar sharing all your fabulousness with some equally narcissistic bloke who will eventually show you how you'd feel if you were the wife.
