My best friend's at the time wife (now ex) did this all the time. I was never bothered by it. Her Mom is a POS, she had no sisters, she didn't really have family, and no women to look up to. She was also very insecure. She tried to model her life after mine.
I wouldn't call myself friends with her but, I put up with her for the sake of their children. She still often asks my opinion before major life decisions and any time she's doing anything that I have expertise in. Overall she's still an anxious, insecure, and not very good person.
So yes, yes I have. Thankfully we no longer live near each other so contact is minimal.
