A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

A friend of mine is 45 and has been married about 18 years to her husband who is the same age, I know both real well. He is a really successful doctor and they have 2 kids(teens) together.

I know their marriage isn't fantastic anymore to him for a few reasons but I don't see them divorcing... she is still very much in love with him.

However, there is this gorgeous, younger woman he constantly crosses paths with since he knows her through work. His wife instantly was threatened by her the first time they met even without knowing this woman talked to her spouse a lot.

I have seen him around this lady and it's quite obvious he likes her VERY much. I can't help but wonder is she a serious threat?

I am worried given their marriage issues that he may leave her or is that too drastic?

I can tell he is really fascinated by her and she is stunning, which is unfortunate. He is really average looking but this woman thinks he is so amazing! It's ridiculous he is married! I don't get why she feels the need to flirt with him!

I was married briefly once but have no advice for her on this so any help is appreciated. I want to know is this new, gorgeous woman a real threat to his marriage?

I must admit it does sound a bit worrying. Your friend should keep an eye on things and try to put some oomph into her marriage. I have been married for 15 years and i think there is some female interested in my husband, i don't know what she looks like and i must admit i am concerned that she is a little too friendly with my husband, he is loving and attentive to me as usual and i don't think he has done anything other than be friendly to her. But i don't trust HER. I am keeping a watchful eye on things and hopefully my worries will come to nothing, but if they don't she had better watch out. Getting back to your friend - Could she get to know this women herself, find out her intentions?

Serinity agony auntHmmmm, that's a tough one. I would definitely consider her a threat, especially if he is showing obvious signes of intrest in her. He is a successful doctor who has been married for 18 years and she is a beautiful (young?, I'm guessing)woman who is flirting and showing intrest in him. The bond and vows that he has with his wife should be enough to keep him faithful to his wife, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to always work that way. She is beautiful and it's new and exciting for him that she is showing intrest in him. If I were your friend, I would address this issue right away. She should sit him down and explain to him that she is aware of this new lady and feels threatened by the way they interact together. She should remind him of his committment to her. Hebrews 13:4 says "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." The Lord Jesus had much to say about adultery. He went so far as to say that even the very THOUGHT of adultery is sin. I don't know if this helps at all, but if he has any belief in God and/or the Word, it should make a point. Good luck and God bless.
