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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband told me to stop being friends with my best guy friend because I won't let him hang out with his ex. 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, and like every other day this year, my wife’s best friend thinks it’s funny to make comments that she thinks I’ll murder my wife, and that she should leave me ASAP. The best friend is in her 30s and has never had a boyfriend. FML
Today, my wife is mad at me because she’s had to stop seeing her closest friend because of me. Why? Because her friend is stalking me, keeps asking me to divorce my wife, and has even broken in and stolen my stuff, forcing me to involve the police several times, and somehow this is all my fault. FML
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 wife's friend's husband broke the unwritten "man rule" of not being TOO good of a husband. He turned over a new leaf and started really busting his ass, so his wife bragged on him to my wife, and now she's sulking and refusing sex. FML
Today, my best friend got engaged. I would be happy for her, if it wasn’t for the fact that her fiancé was my boyfriend just 2 months ago. Upon hearing the news, I severed all ties with her. She ended up bitching me out and calling me selfish for being upset. FML
Today, my insanely jealous wife flipped out and made me promise never to hug any of my female friends or go to lunch with them, ever. It's "cheating." FML
Today, my wife forced me to delete a female friend’s number off my phone because she’s jealous of our friendship. She then showed me a demonstration of what will happen if I contact her again, with a photo she got from her Facebook, gasoline, and a match to “make sure we understand each other.” FML
Today, I told my girlfriend about a huge fight I had with my female best friend. This friend no longer wants anything to do with me, and I was obviously upset about it. Instead of being supportive, all my girlfriend said was, "Well maybe now you'll shut the fuck up about her for once." FML

While I’m not for anyone bossing anyone around, I just wonder what kind of jokes they are. If they’re offensive jokes, it might be a little different.

I believe it’s a form of abuse to control who your partner is friends with. If it’s not, it’s at least a hugely asshole thing to do and your wife deserves the consequences of attempting to. Definitely FYL, sorry you’re dealing with that.

Yes and no. While I do agree there could be something wrong with the type of jokes told, demanding to cut all ties with said person is not the way to do it. Also, her second response makes no sense either, because that sounds like a reaction she could have expected to happen.

Uhm what? You realize one doesn't negate the other or make it ridiculous that she wouldn't like that the woman is talking shit about her. I don't know what kind of jokes if they were abusive or offensive it makes sense she wouldn't want that guy around. If his wife has decided to talk crap because your wife can't stand her husband well your wife has every right to complain about that. Welcome to adulthood. Not everyone gets along. there are important details missing from this. Ultimately it seems more an FML on your wife's life than yours.

The FML sounds like the friends wife heard about OP's wife talking about how she dislikes the friend and is making comments in response. putting OP in the middle of it. If OP's wife made comments about the friend and now doesn't like the wife talking bad about it... to bad? I mean if you're big enough to hit, you're big enough to get hit back, even with words... Now all that said if she says he can't bring his friend to their place for reasons they should talk about that, but she cant say they cant be friends because she doesn't like the friend.

I don’t understand why in this culture, some people have this notion of “you handle your shit” and “I’ll handle mine”. You got married to stay separated when it comes to the real shit? In the case the friend/outsider is being offensive, such as calling the wife names, or making assumptions about wife - then boot them. Be responsible. Why be spineless and keep someone around who is rude towards your SO? Why does some part of today’s culture become so individualist that they lose the spine to stand up for their own partner? So yes Grizz, while no one has a right to tell anyone to do anything. Some people need to use their spine and make decisions that support justice. I mean this should happen with friendships too, not just partnership. I don’t understand why I would be friends with someone who is continuously rude or disrespectful (without good reason) to someone else. Be responsible and stop normalizing toxicity.

I'm sure she'll complain about having to carry around your **** and balls around in her purse.

Well what kind of jokes were they? Because if they were offensive and/or about her I can understand her being upset. BUT she should’ve told him she doesn’t like those jokes. Not just demand you stop being his friend. AND if you knew she didn’t like them, you as her husband should’ve said something as well and asked that he not say those kind of jokes around your wife.

I'm guessing this one would do the trick: What do you tell a woman who has two black eyes? Nothing, you've already told her twice.

We need more information here. I briefly had a friend who, while drunk, decided to tell a "hilarious" story about him pissing on a sleeping homeless guy. Another "friend" pulled a knife on someone as a "joke". Those were shit people and their "jokes" made that super clear. Neither of them were ever invited back to the gatherings where they chose to act that way, so if that's the kind of "jokes" your friend is telling and you're defending him, you're both shit people too. And so's RichardPencil, who apparently thinks physically abusing women is hi-larious, by-the-by.
