AIBU To Cut Off Friend

We first became friends (let’s call her Anna)at college around the age of 16/17 and enjoyed going out together. I was introduced to another friend (Maya) through her and we did all the usual things that young adults do. Around the age of 20 I got a full time job and started running my own brownie unit. Anna and Maya still went out regularly and got drunk and neither was studying or trying to get a job. Anna would also make plans with me and then cancel at the last minute and so we drifted apart. We are now 38/39 years old and quite by chance Anna and found each other on Facebook and started chatting again. I am now married, own my own property, still running a brownie unit and stepmother to four DC. Anna is single and still not working. We arranged to meet up and enjoyed going out together and reconnecting then Anna met my DH. I absolutely trust my DH and have no fears of him cheating on me. However Anna has started calling him a big cuddly bear and asking him if he wasn’t with me would he consider dating her and both me and DH are finding this awkward and uncomfortable as she can’t see how inappropriate that is. DH is a gentleman and has tried politely explaining that he is with me and so wouldn’t consider another woman but all Anna says to that is “But if you weren’t though”. Do I cut her out of my life again as she doesn’t appear to understand anything else.

This is a very unbalanced relationship.
You tolerating unpalatable things out of pity and her chasing your husband and having around desire nothing in common.

You know why she doesn't have many friends, but if you continue she'll shit in the pool (sorry, crude but true) before long and then you'll wish you'd scrapped it earlier.

She's a creep.

Hanging around despite nothing in common, that should say
