There could be a variety of reasons why your friend is unhappy in his marriage but has not taken steps to divorce. It's important to remember that each person and each relationship is unique, and that there may be a variety of factors influencing his decision.

One possible reason is that your friend may feel a sense of obligation or responsibility towards his wife or their relationship, and may be hesitant to make such a significant change in his life. He may also be concerned about the financial or logistical challenges of divorce, or may be worried about the impact that it could have on his children or other family members.

Additionally, your friend may be experiencing conflicting emotions or uncertainty about what he wants from the relationship. He may be trying to work through his feelings and figure out what is best for him and his family, and may need time and support to do so.

It's important to remember that your friend may be going through a challenging and difficult time, and may need support and understanding from those around him. You can offer empathy and a listening ear, and encourage him to seek professional support or counseling if he feels overwhelmed or unsure about his situation. Ultimately, it is up to your friend to make decisions about his relationship and his life, and it's important to respect his boundaries and choices while also prioritizing your own well-being and boundaries.

Marriage and family are important. Those things matter. Unhappiness is not the end of the world. I’m not surprised he doesn’t wanna leave his wife.

Reading between the lines, it sounds like he wants to have sex with you on the side. I would think long and hard about that, if I were you. I expect it will only ever be on the side. Are you comfortable just being a bit of fun and his means of release?

Yeah right, trying to reel you in.

I am sure there is some compulsion which he is not able to share or discuss.

Doesn't want to lose assets or children if they have them.
