Hi, Jordan and Gabe. My friend and I are both in our mid-30s, have worked together in a corporate setting remotely for three years, and get along great, supporting each other both in and out of the office. She's very smart and funny, and she's a terrific mom. She and her husband have been married for 12 years, each make six figures, and have two kids under 10 years old.

But over the past year, her husband has been pulling away from her. I don't think he's cheating, but he's been sleeping in the guest room, not communicating, working more, and acting quite depressed, which she says is unlike him. He's still a fantastic father and partner in all other ways. She loves him, appreciates him, and is still attracted to him.

But from what I understand, she hasn't really tried to find out what's behind her husband's radical change in behavior. They tried couples therapy once last year, but she found the therapist to be too woo-woo, so they stopped going but put off looking for a new one.

She started hanging out in separate areas of the house, focuses solely on the kids, and went so far as to say that if he doesn't get his act together, she's prepared to be a single mom forever and doesn't need a man. Wow. I chose not to push her until she was ready to share more and invited her to come visit me for four days in my city of New Orleans.

In preparation, I sent her a bunch of attractions and asked about food or drinks she would like to have at my house. She seemed completely uninterested in the endless activities my city offers, but did send quite a few snack requests. And not just types of snack, but flavors and brands that were not at all healthy, but could only be found at Whole Foods.

I found it odd, but wanting her to feel comfortable, I stocked up to the tune of $150. On the ride home from the airport, I suggested a late lunch and told her about a few restaurants and activities near my house. Maybe, she replied coolly and said nothing else. It was oddly disconcerting, like I had said the wrong thing.

Once at my house, I showed her where the snacks were and told her to help herself any time. She was completely disinterested and had in fact brought a lot of snacks with her, which she stored in my pantry.
