I was really trying to be honest, I have a feeling you don't care about my problems either. I just wanted to get some money from you. But if you want my addvice here it is, If you really have enoght money to loan your fried a million USD, then I don't think your wife is going to leave you, well she may leave you but not the money. And also, if you want to lose a friend, loan him money, you'll never see him agin. Well you wanted to know what I thought, there it is.

actual i don't agree with the person upstair.1milillon USD is a big deal indeed.but i try to consider it true.in my opinion,it depends how you think about your friend.is hi your best friend you can trust.if he is,now you should decide who is more important.if i were you ,i would choose friend.and also i hope my wife will understand me.maybe it is hard for her.

ok, I have no bloomin idea how much 1 million USD is (I'm from the United States and we have dollars here) heehee....
why is your wife giving you that ultimatium? Does she just not like that guy or will loaning him this money put your family in a bind? That is just really weird to me that she would leave you over that.
And what does your friend need the money for? Is it to pay major bills (rent/mortgage, utilities, etc) or to pay off something smaller like a loan?
What I would do in this situation is sit down with my spouse and explain that this is my best friend in the world and they would do anything for me if I needed it...can we compromise...maybe loan him half of the money or something.
I know your friend would still be in a bind, but every little bit helps.
Maybe you can suggest to your wife that your friend signs a promise letter to repay you or something.
Hope this helped. Good luck!
