R talks are usually bad. Let her open the door, but do not expect too mauch in that area. Sadly if she opens the door, you can almost expect the worst in that area.
Her 'friend'... Michael, how ok would you be if you discovered that she had an affair?
Being friends with her, is not too bad. Take it as you need to take it, and don't look gift horses in the mouth.
Advice: Do not bring up relationsip talks. Work on yourself. Do not let her see that you are suffering through this because you love her. Maytyr syndrome very similar to the reason DB says not to say "I love you."
