Before my gf used to invite me to her house all the time, now that her husband is off when we are off she want to meet me elsewhere. I invited her and her husband to join me for a home cooked dinner at my place with my boyfriend and her husband complimented my food. She gave him such a terrible look, that my boyfriend and I felt weird. Her husband even put a question mark face. I feel as if she is trying to avoid her husband and I being in the same room. Why? I won’t go after her husband, she’s my friend and I’m in a committed relationship. I want her husbands to be friends with my bf and hang out as a couple and she doesn’t seem to want that.

It seems like she has some issues with her husband. Maybe its him she doesnt trust. She may feel threatened by you and is afraid of what her husband may do. She seems a bit insecure and jealous. If it becomes an issue with you maybe you could try talking to her and reassure her how happy you and your boyfriend are together.

Sounds like she has self-esteem issues. It probably isn't just you that she fears will "steal" her husband away, she probably worries about any and all females. I guess you will have to put the couple activities on the back burner until she has resolved some of her issues and just be friends and do things with her.
