Tyler, they always want to remain "friends" with OP. That is such a dangerous proposition because the LBS is just so damn happy that the A is over that they overlook the idiocy of remaining friends. It ain't over, Tyler, not by a long shot. My W discontinued her "friendship" but became so depressed that when I asked what she needed she said "my friend back". I, not knowing at the time that it was an EA, laid down some restrictions and agreed. In hindsight, I don't know whether it might have made a difference if I had said NO, but that was then and not you. If you read on these threads it is quite common for the WAS to want to continue as "friends", I think they feel it devalues the other or makes the experience shameful if they don't carry on as "friends", they also may be just going underground BUT it can also be that the intention is to remain just friends but we all know where that can go. Just be careful my friend, keep on DBing like your M depends on it because it still does. The rollercoaster ride isn't ending yet!
