i have been thinking about how i will react given this situation. i hope it never happens to me, but hey, it's better to prepare for the calamity before it even comes, right? what do you do when you overhear your husband's boyfriend giving your husband really bad advise? let me be more specific... what if your husband's friend says, "i have been cheating on my wife for so long and she doesn't even know about it! if i were you, i'd stop being so loyal to your wife and i'd cheat on her! it's fun, it's cool as long as she doesn't find out!" given that your husband is a good guy and you don't need to doubt his faithfulness to you, what do you do with his friend? do you give him a piece of your mind? do you pretend you never overheard the things he said? also, will you ask your husband to stop being friends with him? tricky, tricky. good luck figuring it out, and don't forget to post your answer! :D

I am a very transparent person. Anyone who really knows me will be expecting me to give this "Bad Influence" (friend?) a piece of my mind. I talk really straight and i don't care who may overhear me tell this guy to shut up if he hasn't any good word to say. But i won't dictate my husband, he knows better and i know him so well. In fact we do discuss things like that and much more delicate issues as we see some friends' relationships turn sour because of the lack of/or due to miscommunication.

yes, i think that any conflict and any differences may be resolved by communication. people bond and learn to live with differences if they air out what they have to say. yes, perhaps the guy in this situation deserves to be scolded. hehe. i just really hope this doesn't happen to me. or to you. it is horrible for our loved ones to have friends like this (fictional) guy.

i've asked my friends this question and it's funny how half of them would scold the bad friend, and the other half would pretend not to have heard anything. they say that way, they get to "keep close to the enemy." hehe. my friends are almost machiavellian in nature!
