Don't know whether developing the inappropriate friendship caused him to decide he was unhappy or if being unhappy caused him to decide to develop the inappropriate friendship. Either way, she is his BFF and his unwillingness to back off from her in any significant way was one of the catalysts in our separation.

He says he doesn't see much of her anymore but he gets LOTS of texts from her whenever he's here with the kids. She is married with two kids of her own. He says it has never been more than friends but I don't trust her as far as I could throw HIM (she's tiny, I could throw her a pretty good distance ;-).

Thanks to this program though, I have been able to see that she is part of the MLC. She is ten years younger and makes him feel charming and smart and attractive. I have to leave it alone. Let him grow out of it. I don't ask about her. If she is brought up in conversation, I act as if she is any other person and don't let it show that I want to throw up.

All I can do is wait it out and not do anything to push him to her for validation against me. I am not the enemy anymore because I am not in any way suggesting how he run his life. I just have to wait it out!
