He brought flowers home even! I asked her could she reel him back in? She said she does and he will be attentive for a month then back to normal.
Early on in this journey, I was doing a lot of Dr. Laura listening and really appreciated much of what she said. On many occasions, she stated that women have way more power than they realize if they would just learn to use it. She also said we men were, as a generalization, simple and less complicated than women. (As she described us guys, I actually didn't mind being referred to as "simple" )

Your friend seems to be headed down that path and maybe she can learn to be content in singleness but is that what she is really going to want? Also, what will her life be like without her H in the home to help with her son?
Besides lending a sympathetic ear, maybe you can suggest the following book (if she were my friend I would make the suggestion):
