About what my friend said to DH last night?

Drinks party at our house, my friend showed up and was completely sober. I only found out about this, this morning from DH, but basically she greeted my DH and told him he looked fantastic. He said (as a joke) "thanks, I'm getting old. Only five years away from fifty and then I'm sure Volley will be trading me in for a better model."

And my friend's reply was: "oh don't worry. She will definitely not be the one leaving you for a better model - she's reached her maximum capacity in getting you. Everyone thinks it'll more likely be the other way round, IYSWIM."

My DH told me this morning and is laughing at what a bitch she is.

AIBU to think she is no friend at all?! And WTF would she say that?

Odd conversation all round. She was very rude. Why did he feel the need to share this?

Volley2014 · 11/09/2014 09:05

Because I brought her up about something completely different (she was supposed to be dating someone else at the party but they both ignored each other all night.) and DH said, oh God she's such a bitch, she said the weirdest thing last night...

My DH thinks it is funny and absurd that I continue to have a friend who says that about me to him

Woah. She's definitely not a friend. She can certainly have those thoughts but to air them, esp to your DH, is horrible.
I'd have to bring it up with her but I love an argument anyway Blush

TheRealAmandaClarke · 11/09/2014 09:07

Well he has a point.

LatteLoverLovesLattes · 11/09/2014 09:08

Of course he would tell his wife - why not??

Hmm friends like this, you really don't need enemies do you!? Can you just stop being 'friends' or is she in a circle of friends where you can't avoid her?

... and your DH is right, she is a bitch!

GilbertBlytheWouldGetIt · 11/09/2014 09:08

I agree with your DH.

externalwallinsulation · 11/09/2014 09:10

God, if the insult wasn't bad enough, she was blatantly flirting with him. I think I'd be gradually cooling off that friendship if I were in your shoes...

NewEraNewMindset · 11/09/2014 09:11

Jealously. Her love life is a mess and she is putting you down to make herself feel better. Agree that this woman is not a friend of yours.

GilbertBlytheWouldGetIt · 11/09/2014 09:13

She wouldn't be coming to my house again, I can assure you.

seasavage · 11/09/2014 09:14

Best avoided. You could bring it up. But clearly with that level of bitchiness she won't even blush.

Only1scoop · 11/09/2014 09:14

Do you think he has embellished?

She's not a friend if that was said.

TheRealAmandaClarke · 11/09/2014 09:15

In this context (OP's friend rather than his own, and the fact they were already talking about it) i can see why he told his dw. But sometimes ppl share things for their own reasons and its not always helpful.

A friends dh told her that his friend remarked that she was fat. He hasnt admonished the friend about this. He remains his friend. The only "value" in sharing it was to tell her she is fat. Not nice.

Op: It was not something a friend would say. He is right.

CoolCat2014 · 11/09/2014 09:15

Yikes, I think your DH is right!

BerylStreep · 11/09/2014 09:16

What a caaah!

I would drop her.

Bowlersarm · 11/09/2014 09:16

She's no friend of yours, OP.

losthermind · 11/09/2014 09:19

Cheeky jealous wench!!!! She obviously thinks shes the dogs bollocks, complete disrespect to you as friend and in your home.
Did she think DH would find her comment flattering and he wouldn't tell you?????. I would pull her up about it definitely she is a snake

TheRealAmandaClarke · 11/09/2014 09:22

Ignoring ppl and allowing them to disappear can be very liberating.

Does she have form.

She is a bitch.The saying with friends like that springs to mind..

ThreeQuartersEmpty · 11/09/2014 09:28

I agree with your DH, i cant see why you'd be friends with her either.

minkah · 11/09/2014 09:32

Goodness me. She's very envious of you and fancies your husband.

If you really value her friendship you could have a talk with her about what happened, why the fangs and claws last night?

But how likely is it that you'll feel comfortable around her from now on?!

ValerieTheVodkaFairy · 11/09/2014 09:56

What a bitch. My friends would never say that to my DH, and I'd cut my tongue out before I said something like that to theirs.

Has she behaved in such a jealous/inappropriate way before? Does she have form for being a bitch?

DejaVuAllOverAgain · 11/09/2014 11:43

Never turn your back on her OP. You may find a knife between your shoulder blades if you do.

MammaTJ · 11/09/2014 12:18

So, how easy will it be to bin her? Is she part of a large circle of friends that would make it hard to drop her, or just one on her own that you can easily not see any more?
