For some women, "girl talk" is a must. It's where ladies gather with one another and spill the tea on their lives, love, relationships, etc...and of course reality TV.
In this Strawberry Letter, a best friend writes in annoyed that her friend's husband is always dipping in their "kool aid" aka conversation. While she thinks he's a great guy, she misses her 1-on-1 "kiki's" with her BFF. The worst part of it all, her best friend encourages her husband to join in on their conversations. Well now she's had enough and is "ready to bow out of this threesome."
Take a look:
"Dear Steve and Shirley,
I need some advice on a situation with my best friend and her husband. My friend and I have known each other since high school and we were in each other’s wedding and our children are around the same age. My husband and I double date with my friend and her husband, but now I can’t stand her husband. On paper he is a great guy. He’s professional, successful and a great dad. What bothers me about him most is that all of a sudden, he has taken an interest in what me and his wife are doing all of the time. If we are all out together, he tends to be all up in our conversation and engages in our gossip sessions, and usually has more gossip to share than we do. He thinks he’s a personal stylist too, so if we are discussing clothing, purses or shoes, he joins in with his opinion on designers. When we discuss politics or sports, he is not as animated or as interested. But the minute we start talking about reality TV, he chimes right in! My husband has noticed it too and he is usually just sitting there with nothing to say, because he doesn’t watch reality TV, nor does he gossip. Whenever my friend and I are having a juicy conversation on the phone, she will put me on speaker and tell him, “Oh honey, you gotta hear this.” This is driving me nuts and I want to talk to her about it, but it seems like she encourages his behavior. I know your husband should be your best friend, but geez! I can’t take it and I’m ready to bow out of this threesome. What should I do?"
This could be annoying, let's check out what the crew has to say:
