I know how you feel. Especially when there is OP involved. M
This is the first time I have checked these boards in several weeks. My WAW has evidently spoken with an atty and we have agreed on a financial split. I am getting hosed, but not as bad as I could in that she has agreet to accept 1/2 of our credit card debt. She evidently would not have too as she is now unemployed and I was making about 2.5-3x what she made anyway.
Regarding the friendship thing, upon hearing that she is now unemployed I told her to let me know if there is anything I could ever do to assist her. I work in the financial industry and would always get her a lot of information of companies she found interesting and then proof her cover letters and resume.
Well, she recently sent me a cover letter and asked if I would review. She was very appreciative of changes. I have a masters degree and have a way with words and typically write well (I know not always in this forum). Anyway, the OM in this case never went to college. I am not being judgemental, but I guess I could have been a jerk and said a few things, and perhaps I probably would have done so pre-DBing.
Sorry for the long-winded response here and I apologize for hijacking the thread, but I guess that despite my assistance I really do not think we could ever be 'friends'. Very sad.
