I feel guilty that I advised our male pal about his marriage

Dear Coleen

A couple of weeks ago a male friend called and said he needed to talk to someone about his marriage and wanted some advice.

My husband and I have been friends with him and his wife for years, but he’s never confided in me about anything like this before.

I discussed it with my husband, who thought he sounded desperate and that I should talk to him.

I felt bad about discussing things behind his wife’s back, but I agreed.

He told me he wanted to leave her, but didn’t know how. He said he’d fallen out of love with her and they didn’t want the same things.

He feels under pressure because she wants to start a family and talks about it all the time, while he wants out of the marriage.
