My wife has a friend, K, who she texts regularly. Recently over the Christmas holiday she was feeling bad and wanted to apologize for ‘being a bad friend’ so I helped her with it and coached her through what to say. The next day when we were at iHOP she was in a depressed mood and was saying she was just going to block him and delete his contact. When he responded to that he said “this can’t be the end of us”, which I thought was slightly odd but I ignored it. I said that’s not the right idea and I then coached her into backtracking on a message she had sent. After she clarified and said I helped her with it, he said “at least he (me) is good for something”. That struck a nerve with me and made me wonder what they talk about privately about me. I asked her to set a boundary where he wouldn’t say those things about me anymore, and he blew it off and ignore it. I then asked her to double down on it and he said “alright fine, I’ll be more respectful”. This has been in my mind since it happened and I’m really not sure what to think. Is it wrong to think something is going on to where he feels comfortable enough to undermine me like that to her in private? I haven’t pressed the issue very much but for the relationship should I?

UPDATE 1:
She deleted his contact after we had the conversation which was after this post was made, but I’m not sure if she blocked him because I didn’t see. She was very bummed out but didn’t fight it.

Update 2:

Today she went to hang out with friends and then turned her location off. I found her at his house and now I’m not sure of what to do.
