    There are at least three important things to consider here.  First, your 
wife comes before your friend.  Second, your friend should have never 
allowed himself to become dependent on your wife's good intentions, and 
third, you should talk about this with your wife, not leave it to the 
musings of strangers across the country.  Just my thoughts.
