Do Husbands Get In The Way Of Frienships?

[rivermom]

There really is no greater bond then the friendship between two women. I find myself placing priorities to make sure I make time with my girlfriends. But....have you ever found that at times your friends husbands get in the way??

I have a close friend who lives down the road from me. For the first time in my life I have expierenced that her husband actually becomes jealous of her's and mine friendship. He "forces" her in many ways to stay with him whether it be giving her "honey do lists" or "guilt trips".

My friend actually at times has to lie just for us to hang out or whatever and I find this so odd. He has "run off" her other girl friends but being the stubborn butt that I am I refuse to allow him to take that action towards me.

Her and I always have a blast together but it amazes me all the games she has to play just to have some "girl time" together.

She even makes me "suck up" to him at times which is NOT in my nature so we can be friends. I don't agree with this but I am willing to do this to maintain our friendship.

I feel sorry for her, she's a wonderful lady but married to such an insecure and jealous man.

But....This proves to me the bond between girl friends!!

Have any of you ever dealt with this type of behavior before??
