She is not going to leave her man to renew her former status with you. Sorry. You will have a better chance of remaining friends with her by not disliking the person she loves the most.


There's a lot of mothers out there who need this advice stapled to their foreheads about their grown children's love interests. It's overwhelming to think of the amount of problems in relationships that are caused simply because a parent doesn't like a son or a daughter in-law and refuses to get past that resentment, jealousy and dislike.

So true! My ex-mother in law hated me, and told lies about me to my husband. He didn't leave me though. We just moved into our own place.

As for a friend situation, theres sorta a friend code, where even when you get into a relationship, you shouldnt suppose to abandon your friends. Even though it happens a lot.

I have had so called friends abandon me, and I have had to end friendships because the other person did not observe healthy, respectful boundaries. No one should stay locked in a friendship where one person is being unfair, or expecting more than the other person can give. I know at least one married couple where the woman has some single friends. I wish I could have kept my single friend but she was not playing fair. :(
