Need advice on dealing with my friend's horrible husband...

[SecretSquirrelandMoroccoMole]

...I'm due to visit a good friend at the weekend (we're staying over) but her husband is cold and avoidant on the phone. We used to get on well but one day he just changed. I used to make an effort and now frankly can't be bothered. I don't want to pretend to be all pally with him for her sake because I feel quite hurt, but at the same time don't want to make it into a bigger issue than it is.

What would you do?

How much tme would you have to spend with him?

ignore him but be polite if spoken to.

Don't know, tea. Am secretly hoping he'll find something else to do which will occupy the whole weekend!

Wonder what's his problem - could you sort of ask your friend - or hint at things being different.

Yes, I probably should ask her, really. I've wanted to avoid having her feel like piggy in the middle, but I just feel so uncomfortable with him, and I ask myself why should I have to feel this way just because I want to see my friend? It's her I have the relationship with, not him, so I can't imagine that I've done anything to cause this behaviour.
