How can I break up with this friend in the most cut and dry way possible?

You constantly post similar stories. Ask your therapist.

Agree! Scrub her from your life. She sounds controlling + cuckoo.

Ghosting would be appropriate in this situation. But, since you said you don’t want to ghost, tell her in person and don’t beat around the bush. That is cut and dried. I would.

I'd ghost until she reaches out to you. And I'd say something like "you violated my boundaries and it was completely inappropriate to share something I told you in confidence. I do not wish to continue a friendship with someone who acts like this. Best of luck."

??? What other posts?

Also, common friends that she could influence, need to be told also.

I have a hard time believing that any DCUMer would simply shrug it off if they similarly found out that their husband had been an alcoholic or raging junkie.

That's not for you to worry about and it wasn't the question asked. That's for OP and her husband to worry about.

Does it matter?

I no longer wish to be friends with her

You are entitled to a preference. A preference is enough.
For less drama, I'd just dial it back. Respond only after many messages. Something short. Don't see her alone but only if you need to in a group setting.

You have my full permission to either ghost her (I would). Or to tell her "what you did was completely out of line. I cannot be friends with someone who so blatantly disrespects my wishes and meddles in my marriage. Do not respond to this message. This is not up for discussion."

This is a great response

I don't think bulimia causes intoxication. However, not a doctor.

Weird comparison.

Wow. Completely unhinged of your friend. Who does she think she is to meddle in your marriage? I would not talk to her again. If she asks for an explanation, I would tell her the truth.

This. Do not text her to get any closure. Just delete her from your brain and phone!
