That's... a wild take.
Your spouse is your partner. This is your primary relationship. If someone you know is treating them poorly, and you choose to retain that friendship because, you know "gee, they've always been cool to me," then you're being grievously disloyal to the person who should matter more than anyone else in your life.
- whatshisface 2y agoYou're overlooking the subtle different between someone doing wrong to your wife, and someone being your wife's enemy. Relationships where you're expected to cut off all your previous friendships are some of the most prototypically abusive ones.

If your spouse decides for any or no reason to hate your friend that they never even met, you're just an asshole if you then decide to mirror that sentiment just because.
