It sounds like she's a negative impact on your life.
If this is true, you need to break off the friendship. ("I read supermarket trash" fact: Cosmo has an article about that very thing this month.)
Otherwise, how can you justify keeping her around? She's draining your energy, you feel boxed into a corner enough so you're engaging in behavior you don't usually (getting your husband to lie for you), and I'd bet you're not as good a listener to your husband/other friends lately.
I'm all for long time friendships, and all for standing by a friend in need. But in ANY relationship you should be getting something back. True, it's not always 50/50 -- but you should always, always be getting something out of the relationship. Are you?
