<human>: Almost a year ago, my wife and my best (and only) friend got into a fight over something extremely stupid (a video game). It ended with her kicking him out of our house and asking him not to return. As far as the fight is concerned, there were faults on both sides. I figured she would cool off in a day or two and everything would be back to normal, as they had been friends for years as well. That didn't happen. I have barely talked to my friend in 10 months.

She refuses to even entertain the idea of having anything to do with him, even though I have let her know how much grief this is causing me. We have ended up in several fights over it and after another one tonight, I've reached a boiling point. I don't know what to do. I love my wife, but I really miss my best friend. I've had pretty much nobody to talk to other than my wife since then and it's driving me crazy. I've tried everything I know, from calm reasoning, to compromises, and even outright demands.

Can anyone provide any sort of insight on this?

<bot>: My only friend and my wife got into an extremely trivial fight. She refuses to make up, and I haven't seen him in nearly a year. Help?
