A note I just got from a friend.
Quote:
How do you console someone in this situation huh? I so lack skills in consoling people, I never know what to say. Can’t tell her to leave; she probably won’t & I don’t think its my place. i never like the dude. Ladies what advice would you give if you had a friend in this mess? Btw, they are married & got 2 kids and he is almost useless when it comes to supporting his family. Changes jobs like it paper towel.

Are they married?
If so, it seems this guy is thinking about a divorce.Instead of spying on his extra marital activities, maybe she should track down all his assets, and find out how much money he has hidden away.Thus when he does finally divorce her, she at least can hold a strong case in court. As for her marriege falling apart, thats sad, but you know what I say, sometimes if someone wants to go, let him go.She must start rebuilding her own life, slowly get used to living without him, and consentrate on her well being.Sometimes when we try to hold on, that gives the man even more reason to leave. If he really is going through a phase, then he will come around when he realises that he might be loosing the woman he loves.But if her letting go of the relationship , makes no difference to him, then maybe she is better off without him.

This wouldn't have been a bad advice if he were female. You are almost telling him to act like a father figure to the kids when their father is still very much in the picture.

swazi has great advice. depending on the level of you all's friendship, you could let her know the reality. if he can't hold a job, chances are that she has been raising those kids alone financially anyway. if he is not there as a father, then she's being doing the emotional piece single-handedly too so what is the point of him being a father figure just for show?
she's asking for help. i think you should give her the hardline truth, which would be look out for herself and her kids and stop focusing so much energy on his actions. and who made the comment about how she made her bed? like wtf?? Last edited by NaijaBred; 06-05-2008 at 01:37 PM.. |

Telling her to walk out is the easy way out, she shouldn't take the easy way out at first. Their biggest issue is probably lack of communication which leads to resentment. He seems to be pulling away for what ever reason. If things were dandy at any point then something must have gone wrong for one of them or both of them to change their attitude. They need to find an alone time and talk about what is bothering them. They can list things the other person isn't doing or doing and find a middle ground. If this leads to more arguments then they should find a third party to mediate. If they can't afford a therapist, some community centers offers free or cheap services like this.
It's obvious she doesn't want to leave him and I don't think she should yet before trying to get help. It's not easy raising two kids and even worse alone.

Ppl just don't wake up one day and start snooping their partner, he must have given her a reason to. The only thing is, that won't solve the problem, it will only create more tension. They both need help.
