writes:My friend and I have a lot in common and we've been chatting online for years. It's pretty much the only way we communicate, except for the occasional letter, because of how far away we live from each other (plus it's cheaper). Not too long ago, my friend got married, but the guy she married is someone I can't stand. I've tried to be nice and get along with him. Even after I got fed up with his immature, rude, and perverted behavior, I still tried some more at her request. Apparently he's a big baby when he thinks her friends are ignoring him and she doesn't want to deal with it. I think that's driven a wedge between her and other friends.I knew them both before they married and frankly didn't like him much then. I feel like I'm forcing myself to tolerate someone I wouldn't give the time of day to just because my friend went and married him. Why does he have to butt in to her friendships anyway? It's obvious we don't get along but he can't accept that and stop pouting whenever I just want to talk to her online. That strikes me as him trying to be too controlling of her. She's got herself in a bad situation where she's pretty much totally dependent on him for money, housing, and transportation. All of her family lives far away too, so she's cut off from a lot of loved ones. To make things worse, she got pregnant so now there's a baby involved, and he's still being a perverted troublemaker with me and a conceited jerk toward her.This friendship has caused me a lot of stress. I'm almost as ticked off at her for getting herself into this mess as I am with him. She'll complain to me about it but never does anything to fix things. I can't even talk to her anymore without him butting in or reading our conversations over her shoulder. What do I do? We used to be really good friends with a lot in common but he's making me wonder if the friendship's worth the aggravation anymore.
