8 signs your friend likes your man
Louise Atkinson, a psychotherapist and relationship counselor, has identified the signs that your husband might like your best friend. She also shared her advice on what to do if you suspect such sympathy.
A best friend is a person who knows almost everything about your life. But sometimes it also happens that she can be the cause of quarrels, betrayal, and divorce. So, as MailOnline writes, if you start to notice signs that your girlfriend likes your husband, you should pay attention to eight points in her behavior.
She takes his side
Have you noticed that she defends him when you complain to her, automatically taking his side? Does she assure you that your man is almost perfect, even if you tell her the opposite? This is already one of the bells and whistles that may indicate that her loyalty has wavered.
She's dressed really well
When you meet up at a casual party and your friend shows up in full "warrior" gear - lips, nails, neckline, and all - consider it very suspicious. This step is much scarier if she also knows that you don't feel confident and satisfied with your appearance and appearance.
She talks about sex
Be on the lookout for sex jokes and double entendres. These jokes may be a desire to impress and intrigue your man - especially if you've told her that your sexual relationship with your husband has cooled off a bit.
She gives bad advice
If your friend, who used to be usually supportive, starts giving you questionable advice (for example, suggesting that you ignore some of his requests or solve family issues without his knowledge), it may mean that she is adding fuel to the fire of your marriage to make it easier for herself.
She humiliates you
This is perhaps the most toxic sign. When a friend humiliates you in their company. Yes, it may look like a joke, but you shouldn't dismiss the possibility that it's done for a reason. To make you look a little stupid. If she tells stories that you have told her in secret (for example, complaining about his mother or his habits that you don't like), she may be trying to make herself look good to him.
She is concerned about his well-being
Beware of a friend who offers to take on your man as a project, especially after a crisis. A crisis-whether it's feelings of uselessness, sadness, confusion, or loss-can quickly lead to a relationship with someone other than you.
"One of my clients told me that she was very grateful when her best friend offered to encourage her husband to start running when he was trying to lose weight. They became closer while jogging and, eventually, the husband left his wife for her friend," the expert gave an example from her practice.
She pretends to hate him
Pay attention to the sudden changes in your friend's behavior. At one moment, she is unfriendly to your husband, perhaps humiliating him, and the next she is showering him with compliments when he is around. It's toxic if she encourages him to behave badly, especially if it puts you in the unattractive position of being the "bore."
She mirrors his body language
Laughing at his corny jokes, touching his biceps, or getting closer than is acceptable to him can all be fairly harmless examples of social flirting, but you need to be careful to notice more sinister moves in his direction. After all, the unconscious reflection of his body language is a connection on a subconscious level.
So what should you do if you suspect your girlfriend?
First, you need to understand whether you are not exaggerating. That is, pay attention to how she communicates with other men, maybe you are worried for nothing? In addition, sometimes discovering that your friend likes your husband can be a positive impetus for your relationship, which will help you rethink and improve family life.
Pay attention if you feel insecure. Your fears may be unfounded, but it's worth finding out why you're feeling anxious. Are you jealous of her? If you value your friendship, it's important to try to find a way out of the situation. Perhaps her infatuation is temporary, and your husband did not plan to pay attention to her flirtation.
However, if their connection is leading to unwanted behavior, it's worth talking about. Sometimes, bringing something almost subconscious out into the open can be all that is needed to stop the process.
The best approach is to use a soft approach - tell a story about someone who has been in a similar situation and see how they react. If it doesn't work, try not to blame. Say something like: "I have a feeling you have a crush on my husband." Also, be honest with your husband. Talk to him, describe the signs you have noticed, asking him to respect your concerns.
