If your best friend tells you his wife keeps cheating on him, dont give advice

When he tells you he thinks he's going to throw her out or leave, don't agree with him.

Because when he doesn't and continues to be cheated on, he won't have the nerve to look you in the eye or talk to you.

If he isn't man enough to stand up for himself, he probably wasn't the caliber of person you'd want as a friend.

Not a good idea to agree with him that his cheating wife is an evil witch either. Or any other nasty thing he wants to call her. Because if/when they make up, he's going to remember how you dissed his wife even though you were only sticking up for him

Personally, I don't think people should saddle others with their relationship problems. Get help from a therapist or marriage counselor.

whatever you do, give her a call when he is not home. Trust me on this.
