Default When good friends split up

Our closest friends have split up after 16 years of marriage.

He left her, went back to mum & dad, as usual there's a long acrimonious story, he tells it very differently to her. He sees her as a lazy cow, sat on her **** drinking coffee with friends all day, sponging off him and living the high life but refusing to be the submissive wife he requires. He is the only earner.

She sees him as arrogant, aggressive, he practically lives in the office, leaves her to do all the household work, she brought up the 2 kids on her own, I know that she does all the cooking, washing, ironing, household and money management, worn out by 8pm so isn't interested in sex because by the time he's home and wakes her up at 11pm she's been asleep for 2 hours and is dead beat. So he went and had a fling - a long fling at that - with someone 20 years younger. When she found out, everything fell apart.

Two kids, 13 yo boy and 6yo girl.

So very, very sad.

What to do? Stay out of it? Support as much as poss? She is hurting so, so badly, has practically been on her own anyway for 10 years - he is being a complete pillock and refuses to listen.

Hell I dunno, I'm not very good on people issues.
