How can you be friends with a *****bag like this guy? The best way out of this is:
1. Tell him you won't commit perjury.
2. Tell him if he does force you to testify, you'll also be forced to tell the "whole" truth, ie his extra marital affairs and abuse toward the wife.

Believe me, his attorney will back off. How could a "friend" put another in this situation? You need to blow this guy off, he's bad news. He is willing to throw you under the bus to save his girlfriend? Run, don't walk away from this POS.

BTW, if he wants to protect his girlfriend, tell him to simply give his soon to be X what she wants. I doubt if he's man enough to do it though.

They are from Wilmington, NC. He has not threatened me physically since I am in Maryland. If he does over the phone, I believe that will be a federal offense for making threats across State lines.

You guys are right. He did jokingly said that since I was the house guest, he could easily get his ex in more trouble by saying we were having an affair. I did not think he meant anything by it at the time. Come to think about it, he could easily make a mass out of my life. However, since he is legally seperated the time I went to visit, I don't think he has any ground to stand on for that accusation. It will just be an un-necessary explanation to the court.

I have not heard from him since Saturday. Hope he won't call again. I will properly keep my distance with him from now on. I think he has crossed the line.

Elau - It sounds like you are indeed knee deep in this whether you sign or not. If I was a lawyer for either one you'd be on my list. All that you can salvage is your honesty by not signing that trash and getting yourself subpoenaed instead so you can tell what you know truthfully. I'd rather get subpoenaed than be party to a lie.

It is quite possible that you will lose one of these friends after this is all over, the question is which one.

hmmmm... during my divorce I asked my lawyer about dating other people during separation. She said that separation is just like a divorce EXCEPT that finances are still jointed. So, there is no such thing as adultery after legal separation. But we talking Delaware, that still recognizes verbal contracts...

elau,
i presuming the 'call' you got to request a statement was from his attorney.
a threat of a subpeona is different from an actual one. there seems to be a lot of heated emotions going back and forth in this situation. i would tell them to get lost for their statement.

it is wrong for either of your friends to put you in a position to choose sides. i were you i would state that to both of them forthwith, at the same time saying you are there for them for moral support equally.

perhaps then they would have a more realistic attitude.

a divorce may not be able to be avoided but there may be a way to salvage this admittedly damaged friendship.

just my .02 / good luck.

Dosn't sound like a friend to me .I would advise him that you will be a hostile witness unless you like being on the stand.......
William Rogers......

This is silly. You need to follow narwhall's, williamrogers and my advice. end of story. Then, you need to get as far away from this jerk as you can. He is a user and an abuser. He has used his X and you too. Don't think he was being understanding when he agreed for you to stay with his X. He was setting you both up so he could claim she was fooling around...with you. Then, he threatened you with your supposed "friendship" if you wouldn't agree to commit perjury, some "friend".

The only way you will be in the middle of this is if YOU alow it. If so, then you deserve what you get. For the last time, get as far away from this guy as you can. He ain't no friend.
