A choice I never wanted to make

If you break contacts with a man, whatever the reason, you cannot keep in touch with his wife, even if she is your friend and has been so since before she married. Because you are in danger of becoming a cause of argument between the two of them, which is worse than anything else you could do. To the person I defriended: please don't feel bad about it - it is because I value your marriage and family nearly as much as you do.

That is a painful situation to be in, to have to give up a friendship in order to protect that friend's marriage.

I'll be thinking of you, and of the person you had to give up a friendship with so that your friendship wouldn't come between her and her husband.
