Dealing with a friend's morals (long)

[QUOTE=msmith537]
<snip>I hate to say it, but like I said in a similar thread, he is forcing her to cheat on him. I mean if you are going to date a much younger girl, you either have to be that successful older guy or you need to be fun and exciting so she doesn’t get bored. Basically taking her to bars and restaurants she doesn’t know about.

Ima have to call bullshit on that. Nobody forces anyone else to cheat on them. They might make the marriage so unattractive that the other spouse decides to end the marriage, but the decision to cheat is all on the person doing the cheating.

But, it’s all a big fake. Most of you have lost touch with who you are, and you can’t relate to others on any meaningful level. You role-play, and try to convince yourselves that you are happy.

Who is “you” here? That appears to be a mighty broad brush you’ve got there.

However, it looks like I don’t have to be involved anymore thanks for the advice but it looks rather moot. Although I have to say, I’m rather proud of her husband for not being an idiot and thinking this would get better when she told him she needed space. Good eye on Justin_Bailey for that one. I think I’m turning off my phone tonight, Uups.

I’m impressed with her husband as well. Good for him. Its easy to sit in front of your XBox in your dead end job and say “well, at least I have a hot younger wife - even if she cheats on me.” I suspect he isn’t the loser we see him as - just someone who is perfectly content at the moment making enough to pay for XBox Live and pizza. There are days when that life looks darn good to me, too.
