or at the very least stop moaning to me about how annoying he is?
I'll try and keep this short but accurate.
DH has known this friend for years - they met at the shop DH works in and used to play geeky fantasy role play games together.
This friend - I'll call him C - is very high maintenence and very opinionated. In the past he has told other people (mutual friends) that he didn't think that our relationship would last as DH and I don't do everything together i.e. we have some very different interests as well as some that we share (I love travel, DH is a homebird etc)
C has critised me to other friends for such strange things as paying too much to get my hair done. Hello? My money, my hair, my choice! DH doesn't care how much I spend on my hair, as it is a very rare treat so why should C care how much it costs?
DH and C meet for lunch once a week. Every week DH comes home to me, moaning about the 'lunch date' and how the entire time was spent listening to C talk about his newest computer game things. C plays [game a] and DH doesn't. C spends all his time telling DH that he should play [game a] not [game b] and slagging off [game b].
Ok this is not as short as I hoped...
C has even called me on my mobile before now, telling me that he has tried to ring DH and there was no answer. I was out of the house, DH was asleep (as he wasn't feeling very well) and C basically said to me "Tell DH that if he wants to still be friends then I'll be waiting for his call, as he can't be bothered to get in touch with me" We found out afterwards that when there was no answer on the house phone or DHs mobile that C had driven round to our house and parked outside it while still ringing it to see if there was movement inside because then he 'would know that we were lying'
Last straw was last night. It was C's birthday. DH hadn't sent him a text saying happy birthday. This has been recieved like the crime of the bloody century - C rang DH and had a go at him for forgetting. FFS they are both in their thirties - I feel like the referee in a school playground sometimes.
I have tried to encourage DH to quietly drop C as a friend as all he (DH) does is moan about him to me. But he won't. AIBU to think that -
(a) C is not a very good friend and
(b) not to bloody moan at me all the time, but never say anything to C.
Ok, phew, rant over. Apologies for length - it seems I've been bottling this up for a little while! 
ALL honest opinions will be welcomed. If it turns out that I am BU I will gratefully acknowledge it!
