[quote=Anonymous][quote]The bottom line is not matter what the theory, it come back to your relationship with DH. The bitchy female friend is actually irrelevant because she is just a symptom of whatever the real issue is between you and DH. Focus on fixing the issues in your marriage and the female friend problem will resolve itself.[/quote]

Yep.  You've got a DH problem that really doesn't have anything to do with the gender of the person he wants to visit.  My DH and went to counseling over shit like this. It really helped.  Part of it was that focusing on friends helped him ignore the feelings of inadequacy he had towards our relationship.  He felt good when he was interacting with friends and helping them out.  He didn't feel the same way doing his share of household work.  He was engaging in avoidant behaviors that negatively affected our relationship.  We've been married 17 years and it still creeps into our relationship at times (and counseling has really helped if I didn't say that before).[/quote]
