are friends more important that your spouse

its really strange but i had recently made this new friend who was so helpful and so nice to me that i just couldnt help confiding in her and going all out to be her friend .this was until my husband returned home from a month long trip .after that i felt so suffocated in that relationship. she was so demanding ,as her husband had long working hours and mine didnt ,she expected me to spend all my time with her .me and my hubby ended up fighting every time because of her.in the end i decided that my relationship with her was not worth as much as my relation ship with my husband and i stopped seeing her. the funny thing is that i really miss her and get very lonely sometimes as i need a girl friend to understand me.....something a man cannot!

i think both are important, but for me my spouse is more important than anything. it sounds like this friend wasn't the right person -- a "real" friend wouldn't want to cause trouble between you and your spouse. perhaps you should just find a different female friend.
