Husband's friend

How do you avoid them? Say that you just don’t feel comfortable around him though he’s a good person but a bit strange, he’s been insisting on coming over with his family so what excuses can be made to keep them away?

Re: Husband's friend

is he married? there is no harm in meeting his family then. you might get a click with his wife?

and if you really really dont want to meet them, just make some excuse every-time they suggest a meet-up. I hope 2/3 baar k baad they will not ask again. Aqalmand ko ishara kafi hota hai.

Re: Husband's friend

Try it once then decide if you still don't like the family.

Re: Husband's friend

His wife is a good friend of mine and I liked meeting them in the past until now when I started feeling weirdish coz of her husband.

Re: Husband's friend

Discuss it with your husband.See what he says.

Re: Husband's friend

He's not bothered, I think he wanna avoid them as well and that's even more odd.

Re: Husband's friend

^ if he wants to avoid them too then baat simple...keep ur distance from em

what he do that u feel weird around him?

Re: Husband's friend

Yeah, why do you feel weird.

Re: Husband's friend

Me to Hareem, I'm curious why he makes you uncomfortable.

Re: Husband’s friend

Okay this is gonna sound funny but he pays salam to me so very often, like if I’m out of the room for 5 minutes and comes back again he greets me. :hehe:

And other weird thing he did that he sent me an email asking for my husband’s contact number when he could have sent it to his friend(my husband) directly.

Re: Husband’s friend

Get him married off. Seems to be the best solution :rolleyes:

Re: Husband's friend

I would trust your instincts and make excuses, tell your husband not to extend an invitation at all.... or do what I do with some of my husband's friends.... when they arrive, after salam dua... take the wife and go sit in the family room/kitchen area instead of all of you sitting together in the living room.

Implement more strict segregation.

Re: Husband's friend

You're probably sensing something thats making you uncomfortable...just avoid him.

I was going to say just that.

:omg:

many singles (or newly married guys) who has not lived in family setup does that. they just really dont know how to deal with this new relationship i.e “bhabi”

Re: Husband's friend

either make a few excuses about meeting up
or as MIA suggested stay out of the room

and the e-mail thing is a bit weird.

I'm curious just like Ahmed. What about your husband's friend do you find strange? How does your husband feel about his friend.....does he also find the guy strange?

Is he a really good friend of your husband's...and would trying to drive this guy and his family away.....maybe offend your husband and cause problems between you and him (your husband)???

Often times during daawats, the men and women are segregated. So, you could invite them...and not even have to deal with him that much....because you'll be busy with his wife.

As far as excuses are concerned......they shouldn't be hard. They can be as vague as "Oh, we're going to be away from home, we had plans today"...."Not feeling well"......"We're expecting family over." If you give excuses enough times...and not return phone calls enough times....people eventually get the hint.

*BUT....talk this over with your husband **BEFORE you do anything. Because he could find it offensive. And if this guy, let's say, is a friend from work. or just a really close friend in general...it can make things awkward for your husband. Your actions will affect others (not only you)...so talk it out.

Re: Husband’s friend

see curiosity is killing so many cats here. Aw we gossip loving people.

Hareem, you have all rights not to see him as you aint feel comfortable. And you are very much right to do so too, I would have done the same thing if i were in your place. If someone doesnt really care and respect the relationships and honour associated with them, you dont have to bear them. Good thing being your husband doesnt matter them too. Keep away and enjoy yourself :k: you dont even have to call it a spade spade in front of your husband. Just make excuses a couple of times and the friend plus family will leave you people alone. Good luck :slight_smile:
