HB & SD: Love the wording: Friendly but not friends.
I intend to deliver those exact words to her once I reach the "point of no return." I will say that I can be your husband. But I will never be your friend. You have treated me with such utter disrespect for far too long. As I husband, I can work through the necessary forgiveness of all this pain. But friends do not treat each other with the contempt and disrespect that you have delivered to me. If this is how you treat somebody with whom you want to nurture a friendship, then I wish you godspeed. I am not desperate for friends.
