I don't know. Before we left AZ, spouse has some friends who I truly, truly disliked, but I just kind of sucked it up and went to my happy place. That said, one night while I was on the job market, one of them made a really arrogant, dismissive comment that showed that he had not only not listened to me, but that he wasn't even listening to spouse. I'll admit, I kind of lost it.

It's worth remembering that girls and women are heavily, heavily socialized to just smile and nod, to go along to get along. I can easily imagine a wife putting up with an obnoxious friend of her husband for a long time, only to explode over something seemingly trivial.
