UPDATE: I Did Talk To Him What would your partner do?

If your partner has a friend who is just flat out rude to you, what would your partner do? Anytime I try and talk or join in conversation my partners friend get all huffy and puffy, cuts me off, is just flat out rude. I’m constantly on eggshells around him. I’m buying a new car today and that friend is driving my partner and me. We could have taken our other car like I wanted, but he wanted to ride back with me in the new car so his friend is taking us. I’ve tried to talk about stuff, guy stuff, life stuff, anything and my partner is supportive but his friend is being rude. My partner even picked up on it this time and he usually doesn’t. I don’t want to tell him he can’t be friends with this guy because that’s not fair to him, but I’m tired of being disrespected.

UPDATE: I did talk to him, he kept using stupid issues such as the way I grew up, saying I’m spoiled and he doesn’t think my partner needs to be with someone prissy and saying I’ve made his friend change (I helped my partner stay sober, get a career, and make investments and have a family). My partner told him he has to stay sober to be his friend and he doesn’t like that I tell my partner when I’m worried he’s messing up (getting high, I’ve been right every time). My partner and us had the discussion together and basically his friend said I’m “intimidating” and that I’m wrong for enforcing my partner to have boundaries. My partner think he is mad because he is bossy to his wife and believes the man makes decisions, and I don’t believe that in my household or life. I have young ladies to raise. A man doesn’t dictate them.
