Empathy

A friend confided me that his wife nagged him for a divorce. This has been going on for quite sometime. They have been married for 7 years and have two kids. I don’t see anything wrong with the man. He is faithful husband and a good man. I asked if he knows the reason why the wife would want to leave him. He told me that he doesn’t really know why because when they talk, she just shouts at him and say so many things that hurt his feeling. He suspected that she is seeing another man. I have never heard him cry until just now. He wished for his life to be shortened thus the end of his misery. This worried me and made my whole day so depressing and gloomy. I didn’t really know what to say to him except asked him to be patience.
