I'm going to tell you about the situation when I had to give advice to a friend of mine. And I believe that that piece of advice helped her a lot to actually have her family survive. She never goes to any parties with her husband, and probably that's the main reason why he decided to get divorced. As a very prosperous man with big ambitions, he seems to be really appealing to a lot of girls, women who are working with him. He decided to break up with his wife, who is my friend. So once she came up to me, and she was just bursting with tears. She didn't know what to do in that situation. I advised her to calm down, of course, and to start behaving in a different way. Still behaving as if he hadn't said anything like that to her, provoke him to be jealous of her, and pretend that you have another man beside him, apart from him. And actually, it worked out because the man in this situation understood that he's not the only one and that he can't easily be proud of his wife. So it worked out, and they saved their marriage. I'm not sure whether I would follow this advice myself. Actually, it's not so easy to pretend that you are falling for anybody else if you love your beloved husband. But in that situation, surprisingly, even to me, it really worked out.
