I would say practice 100 times saying - 'we're doing okay thank you....now can we talk about the XYZ business thing??'

Ie: brief response, change the subject. Let's him know you aren't keen to have THAT chat - business only. Please note - whatever you do - don't confide in him. He is your H's friend and everything will likely get straight back to your H. Only let him see 'together' you, with your business head on.

Best of luck...:-) x
