Mega sticky friend dilemma

[shootingstar]

I think she must know something if she is unwilling to even mention why her hubby has left the restaurant.

My immediate reaction as a good friend within a professional work relationship, at some point later is to express you're around to do the best job with her, that you appreciate her as a professional colleague.

When she does tell you, I would tend to signal that your committment to her to do the best job on the job with her and that what her husband might have done is not related to what both you do on the job at school.

If she is very trustworthy as a work colleague, then most likely her relationship with her hubby is under great stress right now. It's probably a super tough time for her if she knows something but cannot reveal. Or it's about fly into the storm.

But if you wanted, to signal that you are there to listen to her. Maybe away from work environment and mention this.
