Ok, quick but thorough background. A friend of mine was married for 6 years, then, wife cheated on him and moved out of his house with another man. She continued to use his (their) credit card(s) and built up an enormous amount of debt, possibly ruining both their credit histories for a very long time (bankruptcy may be apparent). During this 10 month period, he repeatedly try to salvage the relationship, with no success. She told him she didn’t find him attractive any more, and didn’t love him, etc., basically everything you need to move on with closure. Now, month 11 he has began talking to her again (after he sold his house, moved to a new place and started a new job) and is seriously contemplating trying to work it out with her, again! Throughout this process I helped him move on and get his life back in order (start anew), but know I feel he is headed down the same path by contemplating the renewal of this relationship. Furthermore, the only reason he is contemplating this is because NOW she is ready to try it out again. Personally, I think this is a tragic mistake! I have told him so, but I believe he is already moving on the opportunity. I know you can lead a horse to water but not make him/her drink, but what advice do you have for me that I can give to him?
P.S. I currently found out that he didn’t file for divorce when he said he did, just FYI, so they are technically still married.
