If she's being open about it (other than telling the wife, of course), I'd say that it's not catty. If you're sharing negative opinions on what she's doing... well... It's hard to find friends who don't have opinions, and if you're going to tell them about your life, you have to accept that they have opinions on that too, and you may not always like that opinion. However, that doesn't mean that your friends should share those overly negative opinions about your actions with other people. That would be a little nasty, I think.
