Hiya SC....I hear you about your friend with the 'slightly unsatisfactory husband' and how it triggered you. Yet you (darling woman that you are) still offered to help.
You know, I think she is ready to be helped. She reached out and talked to you. I think we both know that talking about it is the first step. It is the first step when you find out that everyone elses relationships are not like that, it starts to make you wonder what's wrong. Usually however, it is the wife (or abused person) that assumes that they are doing something wrong. Not always true.
I've got a request for you to help out Going Forward. I think she's in a position where you can help.
I'll say it again...you are the QUEEN of Survival and Life.
