Who knew that my bizarre sitch would lead to such deep, philosophical talk.
I'm not very good with the philosophy part of the discussion..

Mike, I think the way I would define friendship in this particular case would be this. We can be friendly, kind, considerate, and share innocuous information. I'm not talking a deep friendship here, just friendly. More than civil, less than close. Does that make sense? I know it's weird. You're right in the sense that a friend wouldn't do what they have done to us. However, in forgiving I also had to make a decision to harbor pain in my heart forever or let it go for my own good. That didn't mean that I had to let go of the history of our R and all the good we did have. Could I trust him to not destroy me again in a R or M? NO! I'm not stupid. I can be compassionate, considerate, and kind. That is what I choose to model for my son. It makes him happy to have his dad nearby.
and I get all that..witht he exception of the last sentence..I understand the forgiving..not too close and all that.. I guess I wonder how Marc percieves the return of Gabe...see I wonder if this gives Marc false hope that a reconciliation is taking place?? From what i read you don't see that as possible..so i wonder what Marc thinks??

So, apparently they are together still and he is playing me for free room and board? No idea. At least he's been working around the house and being with Marc. I don't care what he's doing in his personal life really, I just wish I was clued in.
I think you are clued in...he's got a soft place to land
