How to make him get the message...

So this is about a couple I know who have been married for 25 years with problems and the wife had decided to seperate since their daughter has grown up enough to understand and she's already in college so she has support of her friends if she ever feels hesitant to talk to either of them (her parents)

Anyway; so the husband is really clingy and is insisting of this relationship to go on rather than letting it go and moving on...

But now he's trying to attend eventss with her friends and her side of the family and she wants him to stop trying to interfere

Any advice to help her? It would be awesome to find a way to atleast turn him down without being too harsh to hurt or too easy to return to the habit

So he loves her so much that he wants it to work out? Is there a legit reason she wants to separate, or is it that she's not willing to work at it? Everyone has reasons, but being bored or we grew apart are cop outs in my opinion

Has he been asked to stay away? If so and he's not listening then it might be time to be a little bit firm. He needs to accept that his wife is done and move on. Life ain't like the movies where you can continually crash and pester someone for their love back.

I can't really agree with other commenters. The fact that she waited til their child was an adult to divorce means this has been on her mind for a long time. Also, if a person is done with a relationship, you can't and shouldn't make them do anything to fix a relationship.

I agree with Amy. If she doesn't have a legit reason for wanting to end the marriage, I would encourage her to try to work it out.
