Sometimes I can tell my friend is trying to help me by giving her opinions.
The only times I think it's a personal attack on me is when I would talk to her about an issue I am having with my husbandmarriage.....like I have a 'low sex drive' (due to medical issues mainly) and she's one of the few people I trust with this issue, and she basically told me that if a wife doesn't give a husband want he "wants" he will look elsewhere at some point in the future. (My mom and another best friend were appauled (and I was) that she had the guts to say this to me. This was one of the times I kept my distance for about 2 weeks, telling her I was busy and couldn't talk.) My friend is not married, and had not had the best experience with relationships.
