What to do

I have been friends with a man who is unhappily married.
Over the past year, we have taken our children to parks, walks, and visited each other.
His wife never goes out, works, or seems to want to join us in socialising.
She had a mental breakdown and stayed home mostly every day.
Zero sex life.
I get on well with my friend and come to the end of year function he told me he cares a lot for me more than I will ever know.
His marriage is a disaster.
They had an argument, and I was mentioned for having a takeaway dinner together with our children.
She was invited and always will be by us.
I have said he needs to sort it out, and I try to support him.
I am in a relationship, and I feel awkward as I enjoy our friendship.
I had a message from him this weekend, to which I replied, "Go out and enjoy the nice weekend with your child and wife... no reply.
He has said we should have an affair, but I don't think we actually would.
He's bound to find someone else, but I feel torn between friendship and him as he's a good-looking guy with similarities to me.
My bf is teasing me I habe another bf and my other friends have noticed our spark.

No and no again.

He's married.

If he's unhappy then he should divorce her.

Please don't contribute to the mess he's making of his life.

Please don't add to his wife's pain.

You're only hearing one side of the story.

Your bf is going to get pissed off too.

Just step away and keep your dignity.
