I have been married to my husband for 7 years and we have a wonderful relationship. We have just moved to a new city and we've made new friends. One of my friends is married with children as well and we get along beautifully and have alot in common. However when my husband is around she acts like a 16 year old. She's constantly flirting with him; smiling, laughing, talking only to him. She ignores me and her husband so that she can flirt with my husband. Even my mother-in-law sees it. Its so obvious. She even giggles and bats her eyelashes and I'm disgusted by it. Her children and my children are good friends and my husband is good friends with her husband but I've had about all I can stand of this. She just sits there and glares at him and to top it off, she's been making snide comments toward me. I can tell it makes my husband uncomfortable as he tries to ignore her and I find myself in a rage every time we see her. I don't want to keep my kids from their friends.

This sounds like a "married couples" friendship question. The straight, blunt facts: Spouses of couples in this type of friendship don't always get along. It's hard enough to get used to one friend and then you have to get used to his or her spouse too.
You and your husband aren't forced to be friends with these people just because your kids are friends with her kids. You really have to think of your own emotional health here. Stop doing things as family outings with these people and still allow your kids to be friends with her kids. Your husband really needs to step up to the bat here and support you on this one. It's about time too that each of you cultivate INDIVIDUAL friendships and not get yourselves mixed up with couple friends or parents of your children. It's perfectly okay for you to have separate friends from each other. In fact, that's the healthy thing to do, especially in this situation. It actually sounds like your mother-in-law is acting more like a supportive friend to you than this woman in question. Be thankful for that. Show her this answer. Good luck now.

I would put that woman in her place and tell her to stay away
from my house. If you could see all of this, surely your husband
may be accepting her favors and things can get out of control. That lady is not respecting you at all. Maybe she means well
flirting and all not knowing she is creating problems for you. Even
your husband if being agood man should help you put a stop to her. Keep company with well meaning friends that do not make you feel uncomfortble.

I think it's time your husband has a heart-to-heart with her husband. Her husband should put a stop to that behavior. If he does not, then don't see them anymore. Make play dates for your kids and drop them off and pick them up and that's it.

This woman knows what she's going and has a plan up her sleeve. You're better off not associating with her at all, a real friend would never do something like that.
