How to support a friend when their choices conflict with your values

My best friend is going through a divorce and keeps asking me what I think she should do, but honestly I think she's making choices that go against everything I believe about commitment and working through hard things. I want to support her but I also can't pretend I agree with her decisions, and I don't know how to navigate that tension.
