A close family friend is having an affair, which goes on and off periodically. First, the new guy is no bargain.
That said, I am not sure what you she can or should do. She has children. She has tried repeatedly to address issues in her marriage and the solution has been for her to constantly excuse and accommodate him. Many people find him moody, self-centered, and controlling, while she is cute, pleasant, and up-beat. She works hard, earns a good salary and seems to be almost always in a good mood, he makes less but invariably seems to have something to complain about. She has tried to discuss their issues, suggest counseling, and sought mutual accommodation but he has done little.
He is a reasonably good father and she doesn't want to break up her marriage but there seems to be little alternative. I am not suggesting that in these situations people should blame themselves, I am simply telling one story. Before undertaking this, she tried in various ways to tell him something was wrong, without any success.
