My friend just told me that her husband wants to divorce her because he met a Russian girl on a dating website and that girl wants to marry this husband. My friend and her husband has been married for 12 years and they have two beautiful kids. Now her husband wants a divorce just for that girl he never met. They never meet each other in person, just use skype and chat online. That girl is only 23 years old. My friend's husband is already 41 years old. The Russian girl knows the guy is married and has two little kids, but still wants to marry him. In the husband's words, they are deeply in love now!! When I heard my friend's story, I was completely shocked, I just can't believe that, first I thought it's a scam, the Russian girl must be up to something, but my friend told me that her husband has applied the visa to Russia and is going to Russia to meet that girl after he gets the visa. What can I do to help my friend? I know I need to comfort her and support her, but I think this is a scam, I want to help my friend do something to prevent her husband from this scam and from going to Russia to meet that girl. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Don't think there is anything you can do to convince the husband of what could potentially be up with this. If he is willing to dump his wife for someone he hasn't met, he is probably too far gone to listen to reason. Best thing I can advise is for your friend to get tested for STDs and get her ducks in a row for divorce. I don't think this is the first time the husbands eyes have gone astray.
You never really knows the family situation behind closed doors. I don't think there is much you can do... As Dissenter said, his behavior seems to indicate he is too far off to listen to reason. He may already have checked out of the marriage a long time ago.
Whats wrong with this? Pretty much everything, but if the man really wants to make this move there's not much anyone can do. Even if the wife has some financial leverage if they were to divorce, does she really want to keep this guy at this point?
When I was a teenager, I worked with an older lady. She always said "men are pigs." I think there was some truth behind the statement.
However I am sure the wife will get the last laugh on this one. I had a former neighbor that got a mail order Russian bride after he had a failed marriage. The young hot thing, came here, married him, got a green card and left him two years later.
I do think that girl just wants to come to the states. I know this is not my business, but my friend is devastated, she is the last one knowing this. She is a great wife from my point, supports his husband, raises two kids and takes care of the family. It's so unfair that she has been with her husband for more than a decade , now her husband has a promising career, then wants to dump her for a 23 years old young girl. The young girl doesn't even meet him in person, then wants to marry him, so ridiculous!!
