I think it has nothing to do with men or women when telling someone not to rip apart a family. My W has friends and family that tell me they can't believe it and this and that but they are the same people that say they don't say anything to her because she gets mad.
Really. So say nothing because she gets mad. Right.
I had a friend Coke to me and tell me he wanted to leave his wife of 20 years. I told him straight up. I know you feel you have your reasons but I don't agree that you can't work things out if you wanted to. He left and we are still friends.
