Interesting read. What would your advice be for this guy?

He should stay calm, and start sorting out his assets, then divorce. You should post this is the mature man forum, alot of good advice would be given.

Sigh

I have almost the exact same story, only no child.

I ****ing hate stupid *****es.

I've never been married, but I read that passion almost always dwindles after a few years.

I'm sure they've stopped trying to "attract" one another, and failed at keeping the passion alive, so of course one of them is going to get lonely.

Love shouldn't be about keeping someone from what they want to do. She's surely a good friend of his after 15 years; he should be able to set his ego aside, talk about their desires, and remain friends, even after her lies (which are good intentioned, although very disrespectful.) Getting married isn't for life anymore, and doesn't entitle anyone to get unromantic and lazy. It's a ****ty situation, but she's lost attraction to him for a reason (which is discussed in that article.)

It would be best if he could reignite the spark in their marriage and get her interested in him again, but if not, he should open up the relationship or get a divorce.
