So what would you do?

[Tink]

I have a friend who is like a sister to me. We've known each other our whole lives as our parents were friends since before either of us were born. She's a very good person and I love her dearly.

When her first husband was cheating on her, it was me who learned of it and ended up telling her. She divorced him shortly after.

Now she's been married for over 20 yrs and her hubby has been fired from one job after another this past year. She told me that if she knew he was doing this intentionally he'd be out the door.

I got him an interview where I was working a few months ago and he wasn't hired. I overheard that he'd answered the questions in less than appropraite ways that made the interviewer lose interest in him quickly. I haven't said anything about knowing that to my friend.

Now I got her hubby another interview as a teller in the bank I work for. He has worked as a teller before, so I figured it was something he could do and he acted excited about the chance. I was told yesterday that he'd gone completely against the advice I had given him during the interview and as a result would not be called in for a 2nd interview. I can't help but feel it's intentional now. I really suspect he's just gotten too comofrtable letting her support them.

The sad part is, what she earns isn't cutting it. Unless he gets work they're going to have to sell their home and possibly a vehicle or 2. I know he's been after her to do this already and she doesn't want to. She enjoys her home and is starting to really resent him for not contributing.

So when she asks me if I've heard anything about when he'll be called for the 2nd interview, what do I say? I'm not comfortable lying to her. Yet I don't want to be the bearer of bad news a second time that could result in another divorce.

I'm done sticking my neck out for him. I just feel really bad for her and am not sure what the kinder thing to do is. So what would you do?
