Staying married may have long-term benefits. You can elicit much more sympathy from friends over a bad marriage than you ever can from a good divorce. - P. J. O'Rourke

  • howamihere my best friend is separated…. during separation, talk or don't talk to spouse? 10 years ago   *   4 replies
    • Unsure I think it's okay if you were friends with the spouse but don't get caught in the middle 10 years ago
    • Tiffany It sounds like you are friends with both parties here. The most important thing would be to honor the feelings of both, not doing or saying things that would help one or the other to feel badly. Using discretion, the easiest way would be to keep things low-key, not even mentioning a conversation or encounter with the other party. If things happen to come up anyway, keep comments to a minimum. 10 years ago
    • splitter talk to him, just dont transmit any information from one to the other ABOUT what the other is doing. if they ask, "is he dating?" or "is she seeing anyone?" you have to just say "maybe" or "i think so" but i just think it;s best to keep the focus on other things and not play therapist. is your best friend really angry at him? 10 years ago
