I hate my wife's friend
Recently, you answered a question for a person that said" I hate one of my wife's best friend. We just went out with the couple and I had a terrible time. My wife and I ended up having a huge fight over this. Any ideas on what I can do?
You advised him to get over it. What if the friend is a man that wasn't a friend before you got married?

I advised him to get over it because a man can't expect his wife to not have friends, regardless of whether that friend is a woman or a man. It doesn't matter if she met her/him AFTER they were married, it's still a friend. Girls and guys have this idea that their husband or wife should only talk/associate with them, and it's neither right nor fair. I know from experience that having your boyfriend/husband be the only person in your life never ends well. You need to have someone there to vent to or to be able to talk to when you need another opinion or simply would rather confide in someone other than your spouse. If something goes wrong in the relationship, you need someone else to be there. If you give up all your friends for your husband/wife then you end up with no one if the marriage/relationship doesn't work. Also he said it was one of his wife's "best" friends, best friends are hard to find and it's selfish to ask a woman to kick a best friend out of her life. He didn't provide enough information about the topic in order for me to give 100% good advice.
I don't know if you asked because you didn't like my response or because you're going through something similar. If you are going through something similar then I suggest the same for you. Your husband/wife can't be the only person you have in your life and it's not fair of your spouse/bf/gf to ask that of you.
