"Since you have been gone I feel your friend XXX had been a bad influence on you. I also do not agree with her life style. I think she is very arrogant and controlling. She needs to be the center of the attention all the time. I understand friendship is important to you as it is for me. If you decide to maintain a friendship with xxx then I can't have you in my life, it's your decision"
"A big issue for me is your friendship with X. I don't trust her for numerous reasons: ________________, _________________and _______________. I understand how important friends have been in this process. If were are going to have the marriage we both want going forward then friends who don't support our marriage need to be out of the picture. I understand this will be hard if you decide to do it. But I have decided it's required for me to go forward."
This one's better. ^
