Hi Debra, The OW (my X-friend) and I do not speak. When I found out I called her Cellphone and thanked her for coming into my house every weekend, pretending to be my friend, hugging my kids and at the same time F***ing my H, Then I called her a real nasty word and hung up. Classy hu? This is not my style but god this woman was such a snake. Things are really hard right now and I really can relate to what you are going through. My H said he wanted to work things out but he has shown me the motivation is the kids. He has told me he misses her and what they had. Any affection he shows is like a rubber arm around me waist, it has no meaning.It hurts so much because we feel like we must compete, but we can't and why should we have to.I was having a hard time and needed some reassurance and it was so lame and forced that I ran out of the room telling him that he made a mistake, that he is only here for the kids and should have stayed where he was happy. This is not easy. I hope you are doing better than I am.
