My friend confided with me last night saying she can't deal with her husband(who happens to be my friend) anymore. If I were to weigh and balance the situation, I know my girl-friend has lots of points that made her want to leave her husband. On the other hand, my boy-friend (her husband), is into so much trouble nowadays and I know he needs his wife to keep on going with his life. What would I tell my girl-friend? Should I be biased and just tell her to do whatever she thinks would be best for them even if it would hurt my other friend so badly?Help...

choose both.i suggest you to be their helper.in my opinion your girl-friend should stay with her husband and try to help her husband in any way she can.her husband is in difficult condition she should help him to get through of this.if the man has did everything to be a good husband then it is her responsibility to give support and strength to her husband.that is what people say in their wedding vow, huh?for your by-friend side, give him your moral support and advised him to do his best to solve his problems out.

I believe that you should tell her that you are going to be there for her, and also be there for him as well. You need to tell her that you are friends with both of you and it would just not be fair if you had to pick between your two friends. I think you should pretty much show her this post and tell her what you are thinking, because if she doesn't want to I don't think it would be a very good idea.

There is no choosing sides here. Since you are friends with both, you should be there for them to listen to their problems. Avoid taking sides.
My advise to your girl-friend is to have a sincere talk with her husband and tell him directly of her problems. Honesty and openness is one important factor in marriage.
