Regardless, she will most likely be offended and get angry with you for saying anything against her husband. Even if she secretly agrees, she will probably stand by him out of principle, fear, or both. But...
if I were in your shoes, I'd probably tell her the truth anyway...
that you felt her husband was trying to sabotage your friendship,
just as he had with her other close friends,
that it was hurtful & unnecessary to tell you what her husband said, that you simply don't like him
or the ways she has changed since being with him,
and that you've grown in different directions.
Who knows? Maybe it'll be the final straw that makes her decide to dump the jerk...!
