marriage dilemma
10 Answers
Have had a friend round here all afternoon in distress and I wonder if ABers can give better advice than me.
Very briefly, - her son has been married to person of a different culture for almost four years - there is a daughter just over two - very much loved by both. Hubby is away a lot on business. She suffered post birth depression but would not accept it and refused to seek help. She then had an affair with an ex-boyriend - hubby knew nothing - and they got divorced over this but still worked together (both shareholders in the company) - she moved out of her 'ethnic environment' to re-locate to the company offices, located within his culture - the man involved in the divorce moved too. Unbeknown to the hubby (and against the divorce conditions) ex wife moved in with child and shared house with lover. They now appear to have had a fall out and she is asking ex-hubby to try again. She admits she is suffering from depression (and this is a first) and has at last taken counselling. He is very aware that she is untrustworthy but she has at least acknowledged one of her problems (depression - never acknowledged before) She has custody of the child but he has very free access. Hubby begged, pleaded and tried his heart out to save the marriage - this didn't work. She holds all the ace cards because if she goes back to her 'home town' - it's hunfreds of miles away, he will rarely see his daughter.

again bednobs - sorry I didn't make it clear - this is what he has problems with. He loves his child, has been torn apart by the divorce, if the e-wife relocates he will rarely see his daughter.
I realise it's difficult to make assessments from original posts - emotions can't be put in them but thanks for the input.
