An awkward situation

[iloveyou155]

I threw a party at my house that involved many people and a lot of booze. My husband and I had a tiny spat and he got mad at me and went to bed. While he was upstairs, one of my close friends (who is also my husbands friend) tried to console me. But it quickly turned into him sexually propositioning me and leaning in for a kiss. I explained to him that I am married and in love and not interested, and went upstairs. My husband was waiting there, looking for a fight. In my inebriated state, I may have over-exaggerated when I explained the situation. After telling the story again in a sober state of mind, my husband is still furious with this friend of ours.

It's been about 3 months since this has happened, and he's still mad. I tried to patch things up between the both of them but my husband just won't budge, and worse, he thinks I'm insane for not being mad at this person myself. I didn't want to lose a friend, but the fights between me and my husband have gotten so severe over this that I have reluctantly stopped communication with the other person altogether. I feel really upset that I have lost a friend over this. Is he being too jealous, or am I too forgiving?

it's very hard to forgive a friend that made the moves on your lover. put yourself in his shoes. what would you do if a lady friend had went upstairs and tride to get in your bed???
loosing that friend isn't half as bad as trying to keep a relationship with him. even though there was alcohol, it doens't make the act innocent. if this friend has had his eye's on you for a a while, the alcohol and the fight gave him the oppertunity he was wanting. do you reaaly want a friend around that is thinking of such things?
i would do what your husband wishes here. he knows that this frienship isn't harmless. he has every right to be angry. you should respect that, and honr your husband by letting this friend go. it would be the best for all of you.
good luck,

Thank you so much. I really felt like all the advice I had been receiving on this situation was from people too close to from rational opinions. When all is said and done, I am too afraid of conflict and always try to be a mediator. Obviously, this time it won't work.
