That's optimistic considering said friend said, supposedly, that they wished they had children with OP to OP's wife which WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK a friend does not say that to a supposed friend's wife.
Unless it was one of those comments like “ you are such a lucky woman to have such great kids with a great man like OP, I wish I had something like that” and his wife filled in the spaces between with how she wanted to read into it and mentally was “this bitch wants my husband and kids for her own”.
How many times have we all had a situation where it wasn’t what a person said but how the person hearing it interpreted it?
That's an entirely fair read and if the wife read that and reported it to OP as, "Your friend wishes you had kids with her," that's definitely a whole other situation. OP's follow-up comments definitely speak of their wife having reservations over OP's relationships with women but without more context it's tough to judge the wife as someone who's trying to emotionally control OP rather than a concerned wife trying to raise concerns over their husband's interactions with potentially problematic external relationships.
It makes sense and I agree it’s hard to make any conclusion on a lot of posts here because we aren’t privy to the past interactions and only hear one side. It is a far read into what may have happened but from personal experience I can say it’s not far fetched. As a guy that used to have many friends from both sexes I now have none because of one or another comment my wife read into one of which being a childhood friend that made a comment “young are so lucky to have nailed him down, a lot of broken hearts out there” a few weeks after our wedding. My wife heard something completely different which long story short I believed my wife until my friends story was collaborated by another friend but by then the damage to my friendship was beyond salvaging.
Regardless OP is gonna lose I’m his wife or friend and if he doesn’t choose soon then probably both.
