just like in other aspects of friendship we need to respect the other friends feelings. if they have prioritised new ones then we must respect it. i will give the new wife credit. she does not want any outside interference in her marriage. just think about it for a moment. we place too much of emphasis on "friiendship" when in face it is an emotional attachment, one that hurts when it is put to an end. if your "friendship" continued you may have become the 3rd person in this new marriage. i think the wife saw an emotional threat and eliminated it.
you may not like it, but please respect this decision.
