Tell him flat out no and If he wants to live with his best friend they should get their own place.That man sounds awful and your husband should stand up for you.

I'll tell you one thing:

I wouldn't have some guy who gropes my wife living in my house. If I were her husband, I wouldn't let this situation happen. I wouldn't be the guy's friend. I would find the guy to be a real creep, and possibly a dangerous one.

I feel there's something pathological going on here.

The friendship between your husband and that guy seems to transcend your marriage----and that's bad.

im not being bigheaded but a lot of men try it on with me so both me and my husband are used to it and im just saying it how it is not to sound bigheaded or anything
my husband knows his own friends also he has borderline personality disorder and adhd

his friend is good at calming me when i have a meltdown but he just gets on my nerves also his gropes are more jokey than serious but i dont do jokes

i suppose my husband lets him off because his is best friend and he knows he wouldnt touch me sexually he just gets on my nerves and theres nowhere for him to sleep
my husband says he can sleep in the living room but no way it will be too messy and overcrowded

my husband just protests that i let my son live here so why shouldnt he let his best friend live here so maybe i am being unreasonable but if i am so be it

It sounds like he’s gaslighting you here.

Your son is…your son, and on top of that, he’s only 17. He should be living you. There’s no reason why your husband’s creepy friend should be.

I really don’t think that gross behavior should be gotten used to…

Because he's your SON......and the guy is not RELATED to you.

If a person (yes, your husband) places a SON of a mother and an unrelated person on the same plain, there's something wrong with that person's thinking.

Saying all this, we should not lambaste Caz, like I'm sort of doing here.

It would be TERRIBLE if the friend turned this into an exploitative situation.

It seems time to play the “My Way Or The Highway” card.

“Him or me”, she said.

This is really not a healthy situation and I am worried somebody on this forum is going to say something to make things worse. Your personal space is important. You may need to get a third party to communicate this to your husband. If he chooses to take this man's side then Fnord's advice will apply.

i have

had meltdown

why do people have to have friends for? :roll:

my son doesnt want him living with us either so thats 2 against 1

i told my husband that me and my son will leave him if he chooses the drunken hillbilly over me
that made him panic so he will probably change his mind and say no to him now

theres no room anyway

It's your home.
It shouldn't require a meltdown or debate.
Be prepared to sell the house if he insists.

They can get their own bachelor pad.

Stick with it and don't back down..like it sounds like it would be awful if his friend moved in. Maybe he just needs a reality check. And yeah does not sound like you have room to move an additional person in for the forseeable future. I mean if this friend just needed to crash on the couch a couple days to sort things out and you were ok with that it would be one thing but seems your husband is suggesting he moves in indefinitely which is for sure a terrible idea.

im just heartbroken

my husband is obsessed with this friend of his and now that the friend is single my husband wants to be single as well

but i know he will come running back sooner or later to me because im his soulmate
i think my autism embarrasses him sometimes but he will be back

but im still heartbroken..he is staying with that guy for a few days just to give ourselves time apart but i do feel a bit sad

my son is sad too because his real dads in prison so my husband was a good father figure to him

but i promised my son that i will never let him down and that he is everything to me..im glad to have him really and if my husband does decide to leave me for good i will never get another boyfriend again

i love my son more than anyone else in this cruel world
