ugh. what would you do if your SO had a friend you really just couldn't stand and you didn't want him around. shouldn't your SO respect that and not bring him around
I don't particularly care for one of my husbands good friends. (They have been friends for 20+ years). He's not a bad guy, but there's something about him I can't stand. So, I encourage him to go hang out with him instead of us always hang out as couples.
