Well, there's either two things happening here...

A) Your personalities just don't mesh at all, and you're in the same boat as those guys from "Saving Silverman." It's unfortunate, but it does happen.

B) She really IS a scheming, manipulative, canniving whore. It's unfortunate, but it does happen.

The most unfortunate thing, however, is that you're getting the short end of the stick. There's nothing you can do that will make the situation any better. Take a deep breath, and back off for a while. Go hang out with your other friends. Keep calling your "pussywhipped" buddy from time to time just to keep the lines of communication open, but let him call the shots from now on. If he really, truly wants to be your friend, then he'll make the effort. However, you have to accept that perhaps his woman will win this "battle," in which case you'll have to find another buddy with less emotional baggage than your current one.

Whatever you do, DON'T BAD MOUTH HIS GIRL. I know she's a bitch, all your friends know she's a bitch, hell... HE probably knows she's a bitch, but he doesn't need to hear it from you. If you keep your mouth SHUT about it tho, and he eventually gets her legs unwrapped from around his head long enough to sit up and notice how much of a bitch she is, he'll need buddies to help drag him back from the dark side, and that's when you step in!

I totally am sorry, dude. This sucks... but hey, if she really is that horrible of a person, he'll wisen up... some day.
