One of my very close friends has got involved with a woman he works with. I was delighted for him when he told me that he has found happiness with this relationship. My friend has battled depression and anxiety on and off for years. This is the first relationship he has been in in about 10 years.
However he admitted to me that she is in fact married. He has really fallen in love with this woman. He is constantly thinking about her and is hoping that she will leave her husband for him. He also told me that the woman is deeply unhappy in her marriage and does not love her husband.
Although it seems to me that she has no intentions to leave her husband and is merely using my friend to get her bit of excitement on the side.
I am extremely frustrated because I just know that my friend is going to end up deeply hurt and I am worried about the consequences when it all ends up in tears. I have tried telling him to quit it and forget about her but to no avail. He is infatuated with her. I have not seen him like this before. He really thinks everything is going to fall into place. How can I help him and is there any way I can make him see the light?
I wouldn't be so concerned but he is or has been mentally fragile and I am afraid of what's going to happen.
Has your friend considered how the husband will react? Maybe he will say good riddance. Maybe he will fight and win her back. Maybe he will go crazy and get violent. It may be more than your friend's feelings that get hurt...
He dosen't seem to give the husband any consideration.

Believe me, I have told him everything including that but according to him he is the first man she has cheated with and that they have a very deep connection that they are soul mates. Absolute nonsense.

If he refuses to listen you just have to let him crash and burn then. My friend dated a woman who was married and had a child with her husband, in the end, she returned to her husband.
Be careful how active you are in all of this too. When things hit the fan, the more involved you have gotten the more you could become a target for his anger.
He is an adult and has to make his own decisions in life even if they are bad ones. You have been a good friend and advised him. Next step is to be a good friend and not abandon him when things turn bad.
