I am sure this has all happened to us at one point but how do you deal with friends of your FI that you cannot stand?

I avoid his best friend for now. I don't know what I'll do when I have to be around him for the wedding since he will be the best man. Maybe I can get some tips from you other ladies.

LOL! I'm really great at ignoring people that I don't like. I can't get with really obnoxious personalities, that really makes my skin crawl! Fortunately, the friend that FI did have when we first started dated that I couldn't stand, has moved to another state. So I'm good, but I used ignore his a$$. He knew I didn't like him, so he just kept his distance.

This is a great question.  Most of my FI's friends live out of town and just annoy me a little, but it's nothing too obnoxious.  He does have a friend that lives in town that was a bit of a chauvinist, when we first met.  Lately he's been on pretty good behavior.  I just keep conversations with him pretty brief.  He does/did have a friend that really pissed me off by saying something that I thought was really rude and bytchy to me.  I expressed this to FI and said something equally rude back to his friend which started a shyt storm of arguments between me and FI.  I told him that I would not talk to his friend and if I speak to her again in the future he could prepare himself for a string of rude comments from me to her.  When she made the rude comment to me, FI did defend me that day and he thought that was the end of it, but it wasn't.  See, I'm bad at snappy comebacks, and I hate that.  She caught me off guard, so I didn't really have a response at the time.  But the opportunity presented itself for me to say something rude back so I did.   FI hates that because he thought that it was settled, because he responded on my behalf, but that wasn't enough for me.  She lives out of town so I don't really have to deal with her, and I think that FI's relationship with her just kinda faded and they lost contact.  It's interesting because FI and I actually met one another through her.  But I hate her and I don't want him to communicate with her in the future.  I just don't know.  I don't want to tell him who to be friends with, but I think that if I really can't get along with her he should respect that.  I look forward to reading how the rest of you ladies have dealt with your FI's friends that you don't get along with.
