I’m in a similar situation with my husband. Luckily, she is just one of his good longtime friends. For her, he’s her bestie. It can be irritating at times, but I honestly believe there is more jealousy on her side. She has had quite a tough life, and considers him one of her main lifelines. And he’s a rescuer type of person. Thanks for writing about this- I think a lot of women experience it.
