My best friend has been married for 7 years. The problem is he cannot not control his urge to be with other women. He definitely loves and cares for his wife, it is very apparent to us. But it seems like an addiction to him. All his flings are one night stands, he never hooks up with the same person again. We all have tried to tease him, scold him, advice him, but he just doesn’t listen to us. His wife is a very loyal person and loves him a lot. I hate to see my friend spoiling his blessed life. Please advice what I can do!
Hi Atharv,
I would very sincerely advice you to get him to consult a psychologist / therapist. There seems to be some repressed emotion within him which is manifesting itself in guise of such desires.
His actions are not normal, and these unresolved urges would definitely effect his relationship adversely, when, not if, his wife finds out. I understand that it would be difficult to get him to see a consultant, but it’s up to you and your ingenuity to take him.
