A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I am married, but recently have realized that I am not happy with our marriage. I have talked to my husband about it and we are trying to work it out.

My question is actually re: a friend. He must have noticed that things were different b/t my husband and I. He asked ne if everything was okay and I told him the situation.

I know that he did not ask my husband about what was going on. He came to me. They were friends b4 me and I am kind of shocked he would talk to me first. He said anytime I needed him to let him know. Should I be concerned about his motives or do you think he was just being nice?

eddie agony auntA genuine friend would be concerned. Be careful not to divulge too much though. Talk to your husband about it. If your friend has high morals, there is no bad intent. Only you know the relationship between you and him. Be careful though.
