But, I think this also may explain why SH's friend's husband may be pissed off at her:

He knows she's doing his job, and resents it.

I think is the fact that she does something to help his wife in an aspect that he's a complete stranger. As far as I've seen it, men are very protective over their gfs/wives/daughters.

Is that SH does a good job where he's a total incompetent. The bills SH takes care of are his too. I think that's even more .... disturbing.

Understanding though....that SH also does this type of work for a living. It would be much the same as having a nurse for a friend who helps you out as to what medications and other 'get well' therapy works the best.

I agree, men tend not to understand the nature of the bond in very close female friendships. I think often they are threatened by it. I can understand why.

I've known my best friend for much longer than her husband has, we have spent all our formative years together. I know more about her than he does, all of her private thoughts she shares with me. He wouldn't want to know them all, just as he didn't want to know every escapade from her past. It's a pity, as there is no comparison. It's like comparing the love of a child with the love of a spouse. They are totally different in nature. Her primary relationship is with him, as mine was with my husband.

Of all the couples I know well, the woman handles the finances and the man has little to no involvement. This was the case for us even though I am useless at it, which is why I need my friend's help.

This might sound like a joke, but I think you've proposed something that would probably effectively get him off your back. Paying you would allow him to "save face" if he indeed views himself as a pitiful charity case excuse for a man (which incidently, IMHO he is).

I only hope he has a very strong sense of humour if indeed you're thinking of doing that.
