To say something to this 'friend'?

Two friends A & B.

Friend As husband works with Friend B.

Friend As husband has said that friend B has been saying how much she dislikes my husband, calling him all sorts, controlling etc...

Friend A has told me this. I believe friend A completely that this is true, no reason to lie and I know she wouldn't anyway.

AIBU to be upset? Those who've seen my other threads will know what a shit time me and DH are going through right now with multiple pregnancy loss.

The thing that's annoyed me even more is Friend B has met DH about twice and never anything more than a quick 5 minute conversation. She has form for gossiping like this though.

I'm not angry, I'm just upset. Friend B knows everything that's going on at the moment and is being all nice to my face but then talking about my husband, who's also struggling, to my other friends.

Would I be unreasonable to say something? I just want to say I'm not angry but if she has concerns, considering the situation, please can she speak to me and refrain from gossiping about us at an already sensitive time.

I've honestly no idea where these things have come from. My husband isn't controlling or bad at all and I've never suggested as such to friend B. But as I say, she has form for gossip. I would have just hoped at this time, I wouldn't have been the focus of it.

Wow, your friend was bitching about your husband in secondary school? You married young.

It doesn't really matter whether your friends like your husband. I wouldn't be so keen on the busybody who felt the need to inform you.

I'd say if certainly does matter to me that people don't think my husband is controlling and horrible when he isn't.
