For some reason, I don't know what, this was upsetting. But my wife advised her to have him watch their daughter during a time she knew he wanted to go exercise. I think that's a wee bit petty, but regardless of whether or not it was good advice, I think it's bad policy for a woman to be advising another woman about what she should be doing in her marriage. To me it just has too much potential to blow up in your face, especially if you are friends with the person. I think the best thing to do is listen and nod in agreement to whatever they say. Maybe if you're good friends you can tell the person they have done something wrong if they have, but don't tell the person what they should or shouldn't be doing in their relationship. I know I would not respond positively if my wife, in mid-argument, said something like, "Sylvia said I should blah-blah-blah." First, I'd be pissed she was talking about our business with other people. Second, I'd be calling up Sylvia to give her a piece of my mind and advising her to butt the hell out my business. I think something like this could happen to my wife if she continues to feel the necessity of being an advisor in such an inappropriate fashion. What say you guys?
