Thanks for your thoughts, but of course that was not what I wanted to hear. So the fact that W invited OW over for dinner tonight might be problematic. More background is that OW is unhappily married to a friend of mine. Yes, daytime Soap Operas have nothing on us.
The stuff that W is going through connects to deep seated scars from childhood (nothing vile like sexual abuse, just ego bashing and manipulation), if you look up co-dependency in the dictionary, you will see a picture of her family. I want to support her healing, but three years seems a bit excessive. Ironically, most of our friends and family view us as an ideal couple, so the stuff that is going well is plentiful.
So I remain stuck in my dilemma, wish me well tonight.
