Ok, I've got this friend (Jeff) who's 21 years old, and has been having a relationship with a 35 year old woman, strictly over phone/internet for the last 3 months, and were friends before that.

He thinks that they both realize that it can't really go anywhere, do to age difference and locations (different sides of the country), but he feels it needs to stop before it goes to far emotionaly for the both of them. The crux of it all is that she's currently in her pediatric residancy, so her scheduale is a living hell on her, she has a child, and has had some emotional issues in the past. Jeff is also the first man that she's opened up to since her divorce.

He's trying to do the right thing, as far as he can, about it all, but obviously there's going to be some emotional fallout over this, but can anyone give some advice to help minimize the harm?
