I'm assuming this is a post 40 or 50 guy? Sometimes a bit of feedback from a respected friend can provide some much needed perspective at this time of life. Perspective is an easy thing to lose for some guys at that stage of life.
How old are his kids? What do you have to risk by voicing your opinion?

No.
Just turned 30.
Kids are under 5.
I don't think anything I say is going to change his mind regardless if I choose to voice my opinion or not. Ticket has been bought.
My only concern would be for his kids. They're getting the raw deal.

- ND is horrible.
I could care less what someone does to another consenting adult in a relationship; it isn't my business.
I do care when people mistreat children/.
I'd voice my concerns bc there will be a day your friend regrets leaving his children like that, not to mention the damage to his children.

30? Under 5?
Shit. Terrible situation. I don't want to crucify the guy because I don't know him. Or his wife.
Sounds like B might be the best choice for you here, but I think you knew that before you posted.

He really sounds like a piece of shit to me now. You really value that friendship?

Pretty much. This seems more like a "check yourself" thread after the details have been brought to light; doesn't sound like a dude I'd particularly want to hang around with.

Damn, that's some fucked up shit. As a father, I can't even fathom the thought of leaving the children, especially at that young age, no matter how good that Florida pussy is. He probably won't listen, but I would "check" him just on principal. Poor kids.

Considering he's potentially ruining his kids you should say something-a lot. America is losing all of her steampower and one reason, out of many, is kids growing up without a dad or from a broken family.
Ask him what he wants on his tombstone.
P.s. **** that guy.

1. Is the wife hot?
2. Does your friend have life insurance?
Do I have to spell it out?

I ran into the same situation with my best friend about 3 years ago. Wanted to divorce his wife who was pregnant with his 2nd kid and go off with some other chick he been seeing. I went on vacation and basically had that over my head the entire time as them being together was awkward and hostile. Long story short I told him he could do whatever he wanted with his life, but the moment he neglected his kids, I'd fly out and beat the **** out of him (which he knows I would). We talked about his marriage and how neither of them were doing shit to fix the problem. I gave him my point of view and then was done.
He called me a week later saying that he thought about what I said, and he wasn't going to ask for a divorce and actually deal with the problems and their marriage has actually been great ever since. Hearing him say thank you to me for knocking sense into him made me feel good for his kids. As someone who's father was never around, I don't wish that on any child. Basically, tell him how you see it. If he's your friend he will appreciate the honesty. If not, he wasn't much of a friend to begin with.
