Ok, so I am married with two kids. Been married for 6 years and an old friend from high school calls me up on sat. We met up yesterday and hung out. She is getting ready to go through a nasty divorce shortly, just split up with her hubby. So, through the discussion it is being led on that we may do something later on one day. I love my wife but haven't been "with" her in over a year. Any advice? I lnow that if it ever got to the point where I would cheat on my wife, I would call it off, I think. I havn't done anything with my friend yet but the possibilities are there. help!

I think you had better talk to you wife about all of this and advise your "friend" that another female or a family member would be a more appropriate person to look to for emotional support during her divorce.

I totally agree with Nykkee's advice to you. It appears you are treading on thin ice here. Being honest with your wife will put you back on firm ground. Telling your friend that she would be best served by someone else might hurt or sting a little. If she truly is a friend, she will understand that she is putting you in a bad light.

ok maybe I should explain a little on my end too though. My wife and I have been fighting day in and day out for the past two years... we have tried talking and it helps for a few days and then we go right back to fighting again. she won't do any counseling and we really don't have a relationship besides the kids. I know that if it went far enough for me to cheat, I would let my wife know and we would seperate but I guess i am wondering that if I go out with my freind to keep her company, should I worry that much? i dunno, i guess im just confused right now.

Well then, my friend, I suppose after two years of fighting and a not so good relationship and no chance of her going to a counselor, (insert deep breath here) it might possibly be time to make some really tough decisions. To stay, to part company, to cheat, to find a path that works for you. Fighting for two years is not healthy for you or the children watching this behavior. But I am sure you know that. It would be wise to see a counselor for yourself and for your children, either together or separately. Ask yourself why you are staying in an unhealthy relationship. You will be a better friend to your friend when you understand yourself a little better. Good luck and best wishes for you and your family.
