To tell best friend her DH has been discussing their sex life?

I’ve been with my boyfriend about a year and we had a big row yesterday around our sex life. Basically, stuff he’d like us to do (which I’m sure most would think is nothing overly wild) which I’m not overly comfortable with or don’t think I’d enjoy.

In arguing about it, he said ‘well I know X and X do it so why don’t you just try’. I said I don’t care about what they get up to and that I hope he doesn’t speak about us with others either. He said my friends DH ‘makes her out to be a right filthy bitch’.

We do socialise with them quite a bit , usually my friend and I are present, but they were on a stag together last month so would have had opportunity to talk without us there.

My dilemma is whether to tell my friend what her husband has been saying or to keep my mouth shut?

Forget about your friend's marriage, why are you with this horrible man?

You have a DH problem.

You don't have a dilemma.

You assune he is lying and have the self respect to dump a man that tries to coerce you into sex you aren't comfortable with.

Women have talked about their sex lives with friends since the beginning of time. But when men do it, all of a sudden it’s a different matter
