Q.
My husband's friend takes off his wedding band when he goes out at night, and I think it's a bad influence on my guy. Can I say something about it to him?
A.
Mention something to Mr. Naked Finger? Never. Your husband? Sure. But while his pal does sound like a scumbag, it's doubtful that your husband will morph into one just by hanging out with him. You've probably had friends who were less than saintly—did they drastically influence your behavior? Try asking your husband what he sees in this guy. If they're old buddies, it's best to tread lightly. Suggest some parameters—perhaps they could hang out in mixed company or during the day. Just not at bars…at night…alone. Don't attack your guy: He's not the guilty party here.
