Does your husband approve of this freindship? Does he have opposite sex friends too? If so then I guess you will have to either leave your husband for this friend or tell your friend how you honestly feel.
How do you feel by the way? Would you be willing to end the friendship if it got in the way of your marriage?
At any rate God bless, and hope things work out for the best of all concerned.
