I used to have a friend who was a girl (not a girlfriend) and when I first started dating the woman who would become my wife, she got irritated when I spent less time with her. My wife never said anything about it but I could tell she felt uncomfortable that this other girl kept calling me. I tried to explain to the other girl that my wife didn't appreciate her calling and wanting to hang out all the time, and she couldn't understand it so I chose to cut ties with her. Despite my having asked her to stop calling, she called for the last time about 6 months after I just stopped taking her calls and left me a long voicemail that was really pretty nasty and rude...bridge is burned...but I had so much more to gain and have gained from maintaining a wonderful relationship with my wife, sans other female interference.
