please advice him to think it over and over again... i feel sorry to the wife especially if they have kids... for sure it would be a very painful process to his wife... but if its beyond reconciliation... i guess there is no other way but to separate... and for the wife to accept it and move on

I would stay out of it! During a divorce they dont think straight and you will probly lose your friend if you get in the emotional turmoil.I watched my x s friend go thru one and we helped and when he healed and met a chick he never came around ever again.It is the worst to listen to constantly and they dump everything on you as a sounding board too! I would stay real busy and the less you see your friend during this the better and on thing for sure give no advice just listen if you have too..............

It's hard seeing a friend go thru a divorce, or asking for help getting one. But he was the one to ask her to marry him. He pop the question to her not you. He wanted to live with her, he knows what her ups and downs are.
I would stand by him like any friend would. But putting yourself in the middle, is not good for the three of you. Let them go thru it together.

Stay out of it as if they reconcile they can blame you for it, or if he divorces then his wife is going to blame and resent you for it.
Step aside and let them handle the situation, they are both adults and they cope.
Suggest counselling and offer you ear to listen to your friend, that as much as you can do; but don't get involved in any fights and don't be his allaby to get a girlfriend.
Good luck

I would not want to be involved. There are plenty of people who are paid to handle this sort of thing. You would not want to be caught in the middle or asked to take sides.
Decline politely; tell them that thier friendship is important to you and because it is you are inclined to respect their personal relationship and privacy. Tell them you are willing to listen but find it best to not judge. If they look at you funny, just add that that is what you would want them to do for you. (if you were ever in that situation.)
Good luck

If he's your friend, too, and you value that friendship, you better stay out of the middle. Advise her to go to an atty. Explain you care about them both, and don't want to take sides. Good luck!

Your friend and the law are perfectly capable of agreeing to a divorce. What on earth could you do to help??? Stay of of it...

I don't know the whole situation but just be a friend. Limit your personal advice to him as you don't want to be responsible for any decisions he makes.

If he is your friend and she is not, then help him. If they are both your friends, might want to consider the consequences of helping one over the other.
