[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't want to give too many details, but a friend has been confiding in me that her husband is just generally an asshole.  Two young kids, both work FT.  He's selfish, inconsiderate, etc - not abusive, but just unpleasant to be around and she tells me they essentially just co-exist in their home at this point.  She seems genuinely unhappy and I'm not sure how to help.  Some of the things she tells me are awful - again not abusive, but totally disrespectful etc - and I'm not sure how to respond.  Do I tell her it will get better when the kids are older (I hope?)  Do I encourage her to leave, though that might make it even more difficult logistically for her (he DOES help with the kids, but on his terms etc, and she doesn't make enough to support them on her own).

Any advice would be appreciated - I'm sort of at a loss when she says these things and I'm not sure how much if at all she confides in family or other friends.  I'm the same age, with kids the same age, FWIW.[/quote]

Does she ask advice or simply vent?[/quote]
