In order to avoid her friend's "creepy" husband, a woman says she's thinking about breaking up with him since "he's just so odd."

A lady has said that she's thinking about severing her friendship with a pal in order to avoid the woman's "creepy" spouse, but she's not sure whether this is an exaggeration.

In the "Am I Being Unreasonable" forum on Mumsnet, an online community established in the UK where women may share their experiences with one another regarding interpersonal issues, the lady recently shared her story. The user stated at the beginning of her post that she gets along okay with her "mum friend," but that "I just cannot stand her husband."

She claimed that she and her family, along with others who have encountered him, "feel uncomfortable" around him.

He's simply so strange. Almost creepy. The original poster (OP) went on, "He's always there, and I just feel like I can't be myself." She also said that it's "lovely," but "not very often," when she gets to spend time with her buddy alone.

"Has anyone else experienced something similar?" The OP inquired before acknowledging that she believes the best way to go on is to "cut ties" and spend less time with the buddy outside of birthday celebrations and group activities.

Several commentators expressed their opinion that the OP did not necessarily need to break up with her friend entirely and instead recommended that she invite the friend to events that do not involve significant others in a courteous yet firm manner.

Stay in contact by SMS. [Ask] her to join you on girls' days or nights. Make [the invitation] absolutely explicit. Mention that it's a girls' day if he shows up. Have a headache [and] cancel if he objects. One person wrote, "Repeat."

Instead of going to see her, why don't you ask her over and say something ambiguous like you like to see your friends without their other halves or that you feel more at ease in your own home? Another person said, "Perhaps she will understand and begin to express her feelings for him."

On the other hand, some suggested a more direct approach to the matter.

One lady commented, "As it stands, you're going to drop her anyway, so I'd just tell her the truth as kindly as possible." She could have known he was a p---- and had been covering things up, so you'll be able to maintain your connection. It doesn't matter whether she reacts badly since if you say nothing, the friendship is probably finished anyhow.
