The Sweet Used-To-Be (17)

[gForce]

The old house is in limbo. Housing prices have not plummeted in these parts, but the market is quite sluggish. My job, though, is pretty recession-proof and no matter what the stock market does, my salary doesn't change. So I can weather 2 mortgages for a while. Not desirable, but doable.

W has found out that her friend, the enabler, continues to be friendly with XOM. She has even asked XOM to help her move in a couple of weeks. W is beginning to realize that FtE has no consideration for her, and is quite self-absorbed. FtE fits the profile of someone jumping from R to R as the initial intensity wears off and nurturing a mature R becomes necessary. She continues to try to undermine our M because of some underlying resentment that we have actually been able to deal with our problems in a mature and constructive way. I think XOM continues that friendship to keep tabs on W. It was good to hear W say that she was getting sick of FtE and is thinking about ending their friendship.
