Thanks, you definitely hit some strong points. A lot of truth.
Yeah, you know, you can still listen but perhaps not as often. If you can't handle the repetition of it or that it brings you down or don't have time to listen to the complaints, then just don't take half of her calls. She will adjust.
He HIT her. Adultery can be overcome if the culprit is sincerely remorseful, although, sadly, this guy doesn't seem to be. An abuser, however, is dangerous. I'd be working on planning an exit strategy if I were your friend.
I know people want to stay in a disaster of a marriage many times, but it can be so destructive. Why on earth would a person want to stay in a marriage like that? I do not at all believe he means what he says to his wife. I think he probably got dumped by his affair, and is just biding his time until another one come along. She needs to get the kids and leave.
Unfortunately, there's no real way for anybody here to know. This isn't even your own husband, it's hearsay and only part of the story.
The entire forum is hearsay. So what? We work with what the OP gives us.
OP... tell your friend she better decide if she wants to stay in the marriage or not. If she does, then she needs to get some help in order to deal with it better so she can make an effort, and allow him to do so. Otherwise, as others have said, she needs to plan for an exit strategy, be it hers OR his. And that you can't be talking to her about this all the time. That would annoy the hell out of me, too.
