Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I contemplated leaving my husband because his best friend is overbearing and doesn't respect the boundaries of our relationship, all while talking bad about me to him. FML
Today, my husband told me that I’m no longer “allowed” to see my best friend of 27 years. He’s worked up in his mind that she’s going to try to convince me to cheat on him because she’s single. She literally introduced us and was the maid of honor at our wedding. FML
Today, my wife demanded that I cut all ties with my best friend, just because she doesn't like the jokes he tells. Now she's bitching that she's upset because his wife, who she works with, is talking about her. FML
Today, my husband gave me an ultimatum - choose him or my male best friend. I chose my husband. My husband then admitted to me that he was hoping I would choose my best friend so he would have an excuse to leave me and wouldn't have to tell me he's been cheating on me. FML
Today, I found out my husband is still friends with someone who talks a lot of crap about me. FML
Today, my husband of 30 years told me that he thought we should 'just be friends'. FML
Today, my wife is leaving me for the guy she told me not to worry about, who is also her ex. FML
Today, because I told her ex that they were an abusive cheater after my friend cried to me about how their ex was treating them horribly for the sixth time this month, my friend blocked me. The ex told her I'd be the reason they'll stay together, and my friend begged me to talk to the ex. I refused. FML
Today, my best friend decided to start dating my ex. We broke up yesterday. She also thinks I'm crazy because I'm upset about it. FML
Today, I told my friend that I insisted on to remaining single, but yet he still wanted to introduce me to a friend of his. Turns out it was my ex, whom I haven't talked to for 5 years. FML

So many levels of disfunction here. First, you have a "friend" of the opposite sex who you think you should be trusted to hang out with but you don't think your husband is trustworthy enough to be allowed the same with his "friend" of the opposite sex. See a problem? Now granted hubby was once in a relationship with his "friend", obviously it ended ok as they are still "friends" but did they continue sleeping together after breaking up? Has he been unfaithful in any other way? What about you and your "friend"? Any feelings there? Have you ever done anything that could be considered "romantic"? Emotionally charged Kiss that "just happened because you were upset", drunken sex that "will never happen again", even half naked back rubs? Many relationships start with "friends". Taking your post as exactly as you wrote it your asking him to trust you while saying you don't trust him. Ever notice many cheaters accuse others of cheating to sooth their own conscious? By saying he can't see his "friend" but still insisting on seeing yours you put that concern into his head. If you can't trust him for a good reason and think it's odd that that feeling would be reciprocated you need couples counseling. If there is a reason then you need couples counseling and if that's not an option you should probably break up now rather then wait till you blow up.

Looks like you have major trust issues. Luckily, trust is not a very important factor in marriage. Marriage is about home ownership and being able to tell society you're not single. Why can't the four of you just go out together?

not every thing is about sex, people who date share a different connection. you've shared with them stuff you wouldn't share with friends. feeling insecure, when your partner spends time with someone they've felt connected with emotionally is natural. and he's just being petty by asking her not to spend time with her friend. she's feeling insecure, and he responds with immaturity.

Your husband is an idiot. It would be justified if ur best friend was ur ex

No, trust is trust. She doesn't trust him so he has zero reason to trust her.

I don’t agree, he had a relationship and most likely sex and other things with the ex, a friend is someone I have no sexual ties to. Past, present, or future and I’ve never seen any of my friends of the opposite sex naked...so a friend is different from an ex in my opinion

Hey gal, you can't have 2 bananas in front of you while he only has 1 cat to play with. You got to learn to be fair

how has this not been an issue before you got married? it sounds like something that should have been worked out before the wedding bells
