Is it love or just friendship?

My sister is going through a mental breakdown as she has a difficulty in taking her decision. she is married and now at her work place her co- partner liked her work. They became good friends and happened to share joy's and sorrows with each other and inturn she started drifting away from her husband. At that time this new friend got engrossed with his business and started giving less importance and time to her. They had parted for some time and now again he is back in her life and says that he needs her in his life . Is it love or friendship? she does not know what decision she should take and how to get him out of her life.

I must say that if she already has her husband then she should be sharing only friendship with her co-partner, it sounds best too as the other person can always find someone single for him instead of trying to pacify your sister. Now just imagine how the husband is feeling right now when he does not know anything about this mess. So better make everything clear enough for the husband.

Yes thats right. i have kept telling her the same thing to speak to her own husband and move on . But this guy keeps coming back to her and does not let her live a peaceful life. He kind of blames her for his loneliness.

It sounds tricky to me. I had a friend who had a problem similar to this. The guy kept coming back into her life, asking her to forgive him for treating her the way he did. Honestly, if the guy truly cares about you, then he wouldn't treat you that way. Unless there was some deep mental/emotionally problem at works here, the guy probably doesn't really care.

Thank you for your response. I too had felt the same way and i tired to explain to her that he is just coming back to occupy his leisure time . But its difficult for her to get him out of her life. I told her to forget him and move on with her husband.
