Actually, I think I understand this. Though, no, it doesn't make it right for her to be seeing other men.
Eventually, some marriage partners find that they care strongly for their partner, but not in a romantic way. Just as you would an extremely special friend.
I think that she and her husband need some time to rediscover why they fell for each other in the first place. Maybe things have been stressful lately, or they haven't had time to themselves, and have in that way grown apart. My guess is, the feelings are still there; they are simply being buried by day-to-day life.

hi staraven, thanks so much for your consideration. some many people are blaming her, including me. but you did not. you gave us a good advice that let them immersing them into the time they being together, such as the place where they first met each other, the place her husband proposed to her. it would inforce them remember those romantic days.

Hmm, maybe it has been a while when your couple friends have been in good terms. I don't know the situation. I mean what do you think? Did your friend ever tell you that she and her husband has been having problems? or maybe you could tell by the way that they treated each other that something is not right?
I think its best to stay out of their couple business but do give advice to your friend. What she's doing might not be right and if she keeps on doing it, her husband is bound to hear of it somewhere else.
Goodluck.

hi friend, thanks for your suggestion to me, but i can not stay out of their relations, they are both my friends, i do not want any of them to be hurt, and what i am going to do is tell her to come back her husband right away, and she would know that her husband is the only one who love her most, but she also feel guilty to her husband.

i guess, she doesnt really love her husband despite being married to him for a long time. perhaps, their marriage, is categorized under those they call "Marriage of Convenience". But with this, i think its better if the wife will tell his husband of her true feelings towards him and she must choose between her husband and her lover. It is not a good feeling especially for a guy, if they would know that their wife are cheating on him, right?!
Communication is the best solution to their problem, they really need to talk to analyze their feelings and give each other space, so they can really reflect and come up with the best solution.

hi alana-cm, thanks a lot for your suggestions. i ever asked her that how about a divorce with her husband, but she said no. she can not live normally without him. to some extent, she depends more on her husband more than her lover. such a stupid girl, i know she is hurting her husband, my friend, and also torturing herself, my friend also.

Hmm she had no feelings for her husband but wht abt if her husband has feeling for her..I think you should again talk again with your friend and talk in details about the problem she had.and Tell her to talk with his husband also and try to sort out the problem....Dishonesty and lies are the worst thing of the relatn,when her husband would knw about this,how bad he will feel??And if both are not happy with each other than they can separate happily....Hope you can help your friend...

hi drsunny, thanks a lot for your suggestion, actually i have told her to be frank to her husband, but she does not dare to do that. she is used to be with her husband, she would not suit her life without her husband. i would help her to make a right decision, for they are both my friends, i do not want to see any of them to be hurt.

No me either. I feel that if she don't feel her husband, then you don't need to be married to him. Maybe she want to play games, or maybe she don't wanna break his feelings. That's what i think

This a perfect case of cheating upon her husband and you are going to be a helping hand for her. Later on when your friend (her husband) will come to know all this then what he will think about you that you was supporting her. She is just playing with you, only wants to keep his affair secret.

How can you understand a person no want in life her own desire. I don't understand also those women having husband that flirting to someone not of their husband? Perhaps, those women did not understand what we called loved. What feelings they get from some where else is the feeling they get from their husband...
I think you need to ask her husband if he feels something strange from his wife. If he smell something wrong or feels that her wife get away from the feeling he and her wife got warmer after their marriage...to decide what to do in that particular manner...have a nice day!

erm.. well, the friend actually just want to find some excuse to cover what she is doing, i think. i also cant understand your friend, as in my understanding, the love is the main point to maintain a marriage.if you have not feeling with your partner, then why you still need to continue the marriage, why dont just give you and your partner another way of relaxing.maybe she just need sometime to accept her guilty of her husband.

Well... For some peoples and same cases maybe it is not that easy/simple to just end up some relationship (marriage)... it could be related to many factors and aspects that should be reconsider.. inexample: family, childrens, etc... So i think, i could understand her position and this situation.

I think you know her meaning very much. she is not satisfied with the reality. If she married with you, she also tell other man--you are not the man who love with. So you must keep away from her.

I would tell her that you do not like being put in this position, because you are friends with both of them. If she doesn't love her husband anymore then she should tell him that. She is not being fair. Cheating is not okay no matter what the circumstances are.
