Then go all aggressive/defensive, stating "I just came to mention it because of..., it's nothing, just forget that I mentioned it". This will develop into a slight quarrel, which will result in the friend being dropped or at least kept away from you.

Success.

I dunno...that sounds dicey. There's a good chance he'll be sleeping on the couch that night, or worse.

She is just jealous either because she wants someone like you or because you are taking her friend away. All chicks can be handled if you deal with them appropriately. She is giving you shit tests and you are failing miserably. Chicks like a guy who aren't afraid to give them a piece of their mind. Handle her shit tests, talk back to her with witty comments but don't seem or be bitter about them. If you do this, she'll probably end up trying to jump your jock within the next 3 years, so be careful.

I'm sure she is jealous but it's really stupid because she's married and has kids already. Why does she have to try so hard to ruin my life?

Because she is a woman?

Now tomorrow my fiancee invited her over to the apartment to help her put away all her gifts, which means no doubt at some point I will have to intercept her. I don't want to cause trouble with my girlfriend because i know they are really good friends, but I REALLY dislike this person. How do you guys deal with stuff like this?

Sorry - I missed your recent follow up to this Q/A.... If you give a little more detail on the dynamics of the Fiancee and her Best Friend, it could be helpful: First and foremost - is her Best Friend married or engaged? Or, if she's still a maiden on the loose - you may have a tentative answer.

Therefore, jealousy could be a part of it - if your Fiancee is very close to her and her immediate family concerns, her friend is feeling like she's being pushed aside for the time being. It's one of the classic symptoms that we all go through in the beginning: she won't be #1 anymore.
Next step, if there is no chance for resolution, be Machiavellian if you want the undesireables to disappear.
Send your Fiancee to a full day spa, give her the deluxe treatment and get her a gorgeous dress. Have her change her look completely. In other words, have her make herself over completely - into a glorious vision. Girls love that.
Her "friend" won't be around much longer, and the anger will switch gears to your fiancee. Then she will see the truth in her "friend". Following that, and the possibility of your fiancee's despondence over the loss of her friend - you can do all sorts of warm and fuzzy things to make her feel better, and put yourself on a higher pedestal.

I had a wedding shower last weekend and my fiance's friend showed up late and did not bring what she was going to bring. She was rude and short with everyone there. I really hate her but they are girls, what can I do? I am ready to put her in her place. This is the only friend of hers I really hate. I just have to deal with her.

This can be a very good, and usually successful technique. It can be supplemented further [if you have a bit of a cruel streak] by making sure you are "dressed to kill" whether formal or casual, with all manner of spit and polish, when her psycho chick friend is around in your territory.

There's nothing that pisses off a dame more, than being completely ignored by a magnetic beacon.
