Below is this week’s question and make sure to listen to Brock’s answer below…

Hi Brock!

I’m a 36 year old female and I recently ended a 15-year relationship with my son’s father due to his unhappiness. Throughout this time, my friend and her husband have been incredibly supportive, offering me comfort and companionship.

Now about 9 months after my break up, my friend has expressed her desire for a divorce from her husband, leaving him shocked and broken.

In the midst of their turmoil, I find myself developing feelings for him and wondering if there’s potential for a relationship between us once things settle.

However, I’m torn about the implications and the potential fallout, including the risk of losing friends. What do you suggest in this situation? Should I pursue my feelings despite the potential consequences, or should I prioritize the well-being of all involved and suppress my emotions? He has given no indication that this even something he would ever consider but I can’t stop thinking about the possibility. 

Thank you!
