You did the right thing!
I, myself, have been in the same corner as your friend and it only makes it worse behind closed doors. It would have only fed the flame that he has to deal with when he is alone with her! He will get sick of it sooner or later and it helps just to be there when he needs you!

I think there are certain conflicts that we should not get involved in as friends. Conflicts b/w married people is one of them. Your job as his friend is to support him, not to yell at her. If she ever physically abused him, then that is a different story. I think you did the right thing. Good luck!

He's your buddy, she's his pain in the ass.. Your'e stuck in the middle. Had you have said something to her, she would have directed her attitude, both barrels, right at you. You might have been able to say to her... NAH.. Someone like that would not listen.. Man or woman..

You did the right thing. Make sure he gets the help he needs. He should be talking things over with his sponsor and you. He shouldn't be afraid to use the people in the program for support that's what everyone is there for.

How ya doin' man?! ok, what do i know..i've only been sober 25 years..no problems with him talking about matters with his sponsor, just saying , NOT his place to put himself in the affairs of his sponsor and his sponsor's wife..offering suggestions, what not, then fine..any more than that and better start hitting al anon too..peace |
