Issue with friends new girlfriend. Update.

MalMonroe

Oh dear, it's sad when someone's partner can control in such a rude and nasty way.

What Pollycat said above is a bit worrying, if your husband's friend's partner is trying to cut friends out of his life he'll have nobody left. As long as your husband sticks with him and they can go out without partners, that's something. I know we can't all get on with everybody but this woman appears to be setting out to alienate everyone. Does she have any friends of her own? If not that might be a sign that she is jealous of the friendships her partner has and just wants to keep him to herself.

I know it's difficult (I've met such controlling people before) but her rude and aggressive behaviour would make me more determined to stick around because I wouldn't want her to 'win'.

Surely your husband's friend will wake up and smell the coffee one day? And when he does he's going to need his old pals. If she hasn't driven them all away. This seems to be one of those cases where 'love is blind' is true.

Unfortunately I suspect your husband's mate will choose the new lady over his longstanding pals - I hope I'm wrong, but relationship changes like this can precipitate a loss of old friendship circles and a move to new / different friendship groups. 

Hopefully your husband has other pals who enjoy fishing etc.
