writes: My friend is separated from his wife for three years without communication. They also have one son. He moved to another country and during his year of staying, he met a married woman and got into relationship. They have a ups and down relationship, but he loves this woman very much. He went back to his country for a visit but he got into an accident. His wife took care of him and he got close to his son, so now he cannot run away from his responsibility towards his son. The only reason he wants to go back to his family is for the sake of his son, but he still wants to be with this married woman which they have understanding that they live together someday.He is asking for advice. What he should do? Would it be right for him to leave his and go with this woman?

No, its not right. He is entitled to happiness, and if the marriage is not working out, and the two can't make it work after getting marriage counseling and making the effort, then the child and the couple will be better off if the marriage ends. But he needs to take care of his child, and his ex-wife, if she is not able to support herself, before taking on another family. Once his child is grown and on his own, he can start with a new relationship. Of course, if he is financially capable of doing both, then I wish him all the happiness he can crowd into a too short life.
