I was single at the time, so I reconnected with her and she came in town for a visit. She made me uncomfortable the whole time and It never worked out. After reading your post I can see that my friend had evaluated her life as well. She kept praising me and saying how she knew how wonderful I was -- I hadn't seen this girl since the 8th grade. She was so forward like she needed to catch up on so much lost time that it pushed me away. Who knows, she might have been a great partner if she would have taken it a little easier.

The insight that a spouse can give, is different that that of your boy, or your dad on issues involiving the opposite sex. First when you take this type of information to them it lets them know that you know they're on your team. Second it let's them know that you aren't looking for a free agent on the market either. Lastly, it lets them see the lines of communication are open and that you want to hear what they have to say. Bottom line is that you have helped 2 women feel better about themselves in different ways, and thats a good thing no matter what!!! This is the reason why a mans wife needs to be his best friend.
