So let’s assume given that you were married for 30 years, that you’re somewhere in your 50’s or 60’s. Do you think this behavior is normal? (psst – it is not normal)

So she’s jealous and controlling but there is something about her he doesn’t want to lose so he puts up with it.

I agree that you’ve put up a reasonable boundary. I don’t think you have to end the friendship, but I would be taking a step back and be less available. Shit, 6-7 hours on the phone is ridiculous. What can you possibly talk about for that long? Seriously, I will talk to some friends every 6 months and we have done a complete catch up in an hour including perspective on current events.
