My thoughts on the friend. We have been very close for more than 10 years. She has known my wife that long as well. all our visits have been the wife and I together, so I suppose she knows the wife quite well. The friend is quite peeved off with the wife and family and their behaviour. The friend is very supportive and the benefit thing may simply be imagination running wild. What do I think about it. Scared and worried, as it feels that what ever action I take I seem to be the bad person in the marriage, or whatever it is now. The wife could be in a relationship with this other woman since day one, but as soon as I find someone, then typical me doing the wrong thing - not even divorced yet. While I am not so worried about her families views as much, both my boys are with them quite a lot and could hear a lot of stuff.
