Dear Queenie,
My wife is still friends with a man who used to be her boyfriend in high school and he calls her to complain and ask for advice whenever he has a problem with his wife, which seems to happen all the time. I asked her to put a limit on these calls – not so often and not so long – and she did, but it still happens more than I like.
Queenie, I don’t want to make her stop talking to him entirely but enough is enough is too much. What more can I do?—Fed-up husband
Dear Husband,
Suggest to your wife that she tell her friend he needs more help than she can give him and recommend that he go for professional counselling. She can even recommend a counsellor if she knows one or if you do.
