Best Friends with Annoying Spouses.

Charlie003

Do any of you, like me, have a best friend who married or is in a long term relationship with someone that nobody else in the group can't stand? Where you are forced for the sake of friendship to grin and bear the person when you actually would love to take a sledgehammer to their skull. If you do, What is the relation of this person to your social circle and what makes them so annoying? :explode:

Oh god... this hits the nail on what I just went through. I don't like a lot of girls, my boyfriend wanted to get me a best female friend. First it was ok, till she started being annoying as all hell, down to her complaining to her fiancee (my boyfriends co-worker) at work about me not texting her as much. She also degraded her fiancee repeatedly in public, and around us, between making him do stuff because she said so, or just annoying comments like he's fat (she's twice his size and it's wrong PERIOD to say that to anyone) From there our friendship went a bit sour, because I couldn't take that she started liking all things I liked with no actual intent on them, she wanted to be my friend, when she wanted to, but if I needed her she had to find a way to turn it back to her self or just not talk to me then. She wanted me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding, but bailed on me THREE times for helping her pick out a color (to this day she still has not done that) and then, the did the one thing I can't STAND when females do it. The last time she bailed on me for the dress thing, she was crying about her fiancee watching adult videos and relieving himself. Keep in mind, they're in a long distance relationship (both are like early 30's)... to me, I don't find that odd, that's normal... at least he's not sleeping with women. So I'm trying to console her, said you know, we could go out and just have a normal girls day, see a movie. She goes "no I rather go home and go to work" so I'm a bit irked, then she goes "he's cheating on me"... this guy has spent THOUSANDS on her, has bought her THREE engagement rings because SHE losses them, the last one being about 1-2k. (he's a freaking grocery stocker so not high dollar pay). I stopped talking to her, so she posts some snide remarks, mocks me by wanting a "luxury apartment" that I told her would be a bad idea since they never lived together and both don't have high end jobs, and finally deletes me because I made a remark on the stupidity of some people. From there on we just couldn't talk. Her fiancee, who was a good friend to my boyfriend, mutual friend to me, got ignorant with my boyfriend at work. It was just drama drama drama. I told her I don't want to bring her up, she made her choices, they were bad. She's an idiot for them, but whatever. She said to everyone she could that I sent her "a hate letter saying mean nasty terrible things"... Might be a bit off the original subject as her fiancee wasn't MY best friend... but it still impacted the whole relationship/friendship between him and my boyfriend as now he seemingly INTENTIONAL tries to piss him off at work.

My husband is in the military, I often have to go to social functions with him and there are a few people we can't stand yet have to deal with. But there is one I especially can't stand and he is my husbands sergeant so I can't really express to him how much of a douche he comes off as lol. He brags about EVERYTHING, he always tries to one up your story, he thinks he's so worldly because he was one stationed in Germany and every opportunity he gets he brings up how "in Germany they do....". He dresses like a 70's douche bag when not in uniform (think hippie) because he swears that's how they dress in Europe. The list goes on and on. I almost feel bad for his wife because she's such a nice lady

Ha, in my case It's my hubby nobody can stand. I lost most of my friends and ( god bless their heart) my two best friends I have left are Sooo supportive they talk to him and let him feel part of the group and humour is lame jokes for my sake!! Then hey talk crap to me later, LOL. Whatever works for them.

Best friend, Zeus, has a wife, Medusa, that is extremely depressed and addicted to her phone, and then there's Satan, an old female friend from High School she reconnected with on facebook about two years ago. Since that time Medusa has alienated pretty much everyone in her life, even her kids and husband, while being consumed in this other relationship. I'd call it a friendship but I don't usually incorporate cuddling, kissing, hand holding, and jealous arguments into my friendships. Maybe that makes me a bad friend. Where ever my friend and his wife are invited somewhere Satan either finds a to come along or finds a way to get Medusa to do something else. Then these two *kitten* will proceed to get drunk and either get into a fight, or find a quite dark room to lay on each other. Wouldn't say it's too much of a problem but they have both been in lesbian relationships (not saying it's wrong just layering the characters) so naturally my friend gets jealous.

Then there is the phone, I don't know how my boy stands it. I've been over his house to watch a game or Game of Thrones and Medusa will be in the same room as us but will not look up from her phone the entire time. Let me come back down to reality for a second, she will for something like going to the bathroom, but after that is done, back to the phone. He sent me a text a couple weeks ago that said, "went to dinner with the misses' phone, we had a great time." She's been to our house and sat on my couch playing on the phone while ignoring everyone else in the house. My wife sees red Last time she was there her son changed his mind about dinner and she went outside and never came back in.

My wife and some of her other friends made several attempts to jar her out of this mood/destructive relationship but nothing has worked. They are on the brink of divorce and I don't think either one really cares at this point.

My best friend in high school had this seriously annoying and grumpy boyfriend. She was so sweet and funny and he was just...meh. I just treated him as politely as I could because she was pretty much head over heels with him and I figured it wouldn't be fair to let her know I don't like him. And anyway, I didn't have to marry the guy, so it was fine.

Kind of off topic but that just described my BF....go to my parents every Wednesday for dinner. He sits there playing apps on the phone the whole time. Home is the same....home ...eat..play on the phone or PC 10pm go to bed.
Had HIS 2 friends come over once, they're chatting away with each other and he's on his damned hand held PSP thing! No hes not 16....he is 34:frown:
I'm inches away from going ape**** and destroying all electronics:explode:

I'm pretty sure that I was the annoying tagalong in every relationship I've ever been in.

My husband has a friend that I love, he's a great guy. But he just met this woman and asked her to marry him. I can't stand her. He's looking forward to a double date situation but I don't think I could take spending the evening with her.
