My fiance’s closest female friend has to be the center of attention and always acts like she knows more about him than I do. Am I just being competitive?

The Nest Love and Sex He Said She Said
"It's natural to be protective of your territory, but the last thing you want to do is look insecure. Your husband married you, not her, so be confident. Also, while she might know his college kegstand days, you're the one who knows where he likes to be kissed, what kind of foot powder he's using, and the real number of times (eight) he's seen My Best Friend's Wedding. That being said, if this woman is rude to you or puts you down, don't hesitate to pipe up." "The answer is clear: Befriend the loudmouthed bitch. That's right -- kill her with kindness! This will help in several ways. For one, you'll be able to keep her under close watch in case her intentions are less than honorable. Also, since she's your pal, you'll be able to share with her all those annoying, sometimes downright gross habits your man can't seem to break. And hey, the worst thing that happens is you become friends with the woman. Now wouldn't that be something!"

Okay, so you've heard the male and female perspective on this issue. Now where do you stand: Should you have to put up with your husband's female friends, or is it your right as to ask him not to hang out with her? Weigh in below!
