The complication in this is she feels she will crush the OM if she breaks off the friendship since he is in a fragile state as well. He is miserable in his own marriage and his wife treats him poorly and has for years.
Who cares how he feels or his fragile state...
The fool is married and should know better...
Don't start something new until you are finished with the old...
So his wife isn't nice to him? His problem - Not your wifes' problem to take care of...
This sounds just like my husband who started his EA because he "felt sorry" for the girl who was so unhappy in her own marriage...
Fast forward 5 months and I am now on my own because he walked out on me and our 2 boys without a word...
These WAS just really make me so angry...
Like they don't have a care in the damn world.
May All Who Seek To Take My Life Be Put To Shame And Confusion; May All Who Desire My Ruin Be Turned Back In Disgrace. ~Psalm 40:14~
