I wish I was brave enough to tell you in person, I am not. The last time we spoke you told me how frustrated you feel. You are always 2nd or 3rd priority, behind everything else in his life. I know him and I know you, this will never change. He only sees what is best for him and your needs are never really important. You are a wonderful person who gives encouragement to everyone else. I just hate to see you come in 2nd every day for everything. You thnk you have lots in common with him but you deserve better than what you are getting. Give your love to someone who will love you back, not use you to make him feel good about himself. Your children need you and he’s old and big enough to man up and take care of himself. —Hoping you do what’s best for you

OP your friend’s man sounds like a narcissistic cunt.
Every good person seems to have that albatross dragging them down at some point in their life. Time for your friend to cut that guy loose so he may soar over the ocean waves and eventually..ah.. fall in.
Another doormat in the making. How sad.
Noose anyone?
