Dear Anita,

Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.

I must say that after having a very good sleep last night, I’m physically feeling a lot better today 🙂

What I might not have brought across in my original post was that the driving force in this guy at the moment is the need to have a child. Not sure whether the pressure from the parents has increased or if he feels that his biological clock is ticking, as no-one really wants to be dealing with young kids when they are past middle-age. I think it’s a case of him trying to find a brood mare to have a child with and that is never a good reason to just marry someone and deep down he knows it, that’s why he is in such a state.

I am going to suggest to him that he speaks to a professional because I’ve reached the limit in the advice that I am able to give him and I think there are underlying issues that he needs to deal with.

It is often best to get a neutral party’s insight in these situations.

Thanks again for your time!
