It only seems to work if the wife is also friends with her but even that doesn't mean there won't be trouble. Women can barely maintain friendships with other women because of how generally hateful they are. Few of them will tolerate their man being friends with another woman while imagining him talking to his friend about all of her shortcomings.

Seriously? Where did you get this idea? I mean, I know that women can be catty, but does that mean they are hateful?

This man is projecting. It’s not a fully complete and accurate view of the whole truth.

No. But two LGBT married women - yes. Also possible you’re confusing a feeling you associate with attraction, with attraction.
