What should I do about my friend?

Basically, my best friend does not leave my fiance and I alone! she turns up at my house, ever day, uninvited. she never used to bother with me.
my fiance and I got in to an argument the other day, and i accused him of fancying her. so he said "yes i fancy her" sarcastically.. but i was drunk, and so took it seriously. now, when we are out together, they give eachother fags, lighters etc. they've always done this, but i notice it more now and it gets to me. when he even mentions her name i go mad! i refuse to be around them both at the same time.
What should I do? I love my fiance, and know he didn't mean it. he doesn't even like her. but it's stuck on my mind. I also wish she'd stop bringing her boyfriend to my house all the time, and if i'm not home, she phones me to ask me where i am coz she's at my door. even my fiance is fed up, he doesn't like her at all. we can't be left alone! help!

Just thank the lord you have such a good friend who likes your fiance and wants to be close friends with you both, and isn't an ____ about it...
Haha... just kidding - sort of. That's the answer you just left me about my coworker being "too polite". In both situations, perhaps the person means well but is just going overboard and annoying the **** out of us.

I do have serious advice - it may be that even though she didn't hang around you so much before, she is now worried that you two won't be friends anymore because you're getting married. Lots of couples stop seeing their old friends once they're married. Maybe she's trying to get you & your fiance and her & her boyfriend to be all good friends together so as not to lose you.
Maybe if YOU initiate going out with her one on one once in a while (no guys), she will be more comfortable knowing you are her friend and she'll back off more.

One word that I hope doesn't happen - do you live with your fiance? If she's coming over when he's home and you're not (or this happens after you're married)... STOP it, or ask your husband to make sure he just keeps her at the door only and says you're not home. A long time ago a "friend" of mine came over while my boyfriend was home and I wasn't, she invited herself in, sat with him to watch the movie he had on, and ended up throwing herself at him. Yuck. I hope that isn't what's brewing there.

(PS- my coworker should have left my papers where they were at the copier; i only walked away for 2-3 minutes while they were running off and when I went back for them they were gone - I went back upstairs, then to another person's office looking for them, and only happened by his desk at which point he gave them to me. He was being "too polite, too nice". He meant well I guess, but he actually caused me to go all over the place, get it? He does things like that all the time, not just to me. I think he's either trying to kiss up or he's got low self-esteem or something)

Sounds like you need to have a talk with your friend before the issues you are having get further out of hand. She needs to respect your boundaries and also that you don't need to see her all the time

As for what your bf said you have to think about when it was said, if he doesn't like her and you know this then you know in your head there is nothing going on. I would talk to her before she becomes your ex-friend :) Good Luck.

I would talk with my friend and ask her WHY all of a sudden "I" was a main friend AFTER I had a fiance'. Then I would set some ground rules about time spent with you and your beloved.

Read your friend the riot act. Jealousy is going to destroy your relationship with your fiance...

You could be making this worse by bringing so much attention to the idea of the two of them... think about that and then I would just stop fueling the situation and start to not waste any more time stressing over it. Your friend is like most girls who like the idea of being accepted as a friend by a friends husband/boyfriend. Girls like to be liked my men in more than just a sexual way.

Just remember he is yours and I am sure you get plenty of time with him alone. You need your girlfriends too. Jealously on every level causes damage, it is something we all work on in different areas of our lives for most of our lives... but the sooner we get over it the better of a life we can have...

If he is playing games with you now, wait until you are married! Dump him and lose the friend. You are better off without either one of them.
