...in a nutshell, a close friend of mine (no, really it's a friend!) has confided in me that he is possibly about to embark on an affair. He didn't actually call it that, and in his mind he is simply having sex with a woman who is not his wife.
His reasoning is that since his wife went through the menopause (he and she are both mid 50s and have 3 grown-up kids) she has lost interest in sex and he has been celibate for over 9 months.
The woman he's intending to bed is divorced and theoretically is not interested in a relationship either, although things involving deceit and knobs have a tendency to get messy - so to speak.
He hasn't asked for my opinion but wanted to share his dilemma.
Any thoughts?
Should I give him my opinion (which is that he has too much to lose for the sake of getting rid of the dirty water), keep my own counsel as he's a grown-up, or any other options?
