I do make it a point to only trust relationship advice from those that already have a healthy relationship. What's ironic is that I haven't asked her for relationship advice. She offers it out of nowhere.

Quick update-I ended up telling her how I truly felt. That my dating life is none of her husband's business, and that I will leave if he acts up again. I also said that he disrespects her when he is asking his wife's friend to get naked. She said that I'm making things look bigger than it is and that she's unsure if she can continue her friendship with me.

I don't do threats very well. I would tell her that's it, no more. Or more likely, I just wouldn't talk to her again.

Magnetism,

Quite honestly, she is the one losing out. It sounds like she is not in a great relationship, but perhaps feels stuck, so now she is directing her unhappiness toward you. I think she views you as a free spirit who is taking time to explore your options and not settling for less than you deserve. Sounds kinda like a combination of jealousy and frustration. Furthermore, she doesn't respect you and your feelings. You have been honest with her. She is great to hang around with when she is by herself because she isn't under scrupulous eyes, but the fact remains that she is married and her husband made inappropriate advances toward you when you were visiting. She didn't try to step in and redirect his attention or voice any concern in regards to him making you uncomfortable. You are better off without this type of "friend". A real friend respects her friend and doesn't allow someone to try to take advantage of a situation.

On the other hand, I wonder if she would have been a willing participant "if a threesome" happened. Maybe because you aren't a candidate for their fantasy she is ready to move on in an attempt to find someone who is. Either way, I think you are better off without this "friendship".

Double what Euphoric said!

I hate when people tell me I'm overreacting, etc. Ever since reading that gaslighting article that came out about a year ago, I am done with that kind of nonsense. I feel what I feel, and so do you - don't let anybody belittle it!

After thinking about this more (it takes me awhile to process things), I've realized that the situation does anger me and it's best to walk away. I was trying to be the good friend by dismissing it, but it's just causing things to build up. I do have one person in my life that thinks that I should still stay friends with this woman, but why put myself in danger? Given all what's happened, there's a chance that something like this may happen again. The trust has also been broken. CL is correct. A good friend doesn't dictate to you what you like and what you don't like. I had a recent girl-on-girl experience and guess what? I realized that I like men better! So, my friend and her husband are completely wrong on how I like women more and "I just don't know it yet."

The only reason why I'm sharing a sexual experience with the forum is because everyone is respectful to me. I wouldn't share this with my "friend" and her husband. If you don't feel comfortable being yourself around someone, then I don't see the point in sustaining a friendship.

Magnetism, just be yourself, be open to meeting new people (men and women) and wait for compatibility to ensue. Inevitably it will. Even if you're having bad luck, the law of averages dictates it must change soon.

You're on an (epic) exploratory journey and only you know which direction to travel in and when you have arrived at the destination. Anyone who just wants to use you (wanting casual sex isn't 'wrong' but using people, lying to them and trying to manipulate them is) isn't a worthwhile traveling companion or passenger.

And like most journeys, you wont find yourself traveling in a straight line and you may find yourself lost from time-to-time.

Good luck, many (more) adventures await you :-)

Thank you. This is the kind of response that's sensitive and invokes comfort to a person "exploring." I was explaining to a particular good friend (the one that thinks that I should continue the friendship with the woman in the OP) that people give off a certain vibe. Some people you feel comfortable with, and some people make you feel like you want to get away. I also feel like people's words betray them and the little things they do can reveal who they are.
