I doubt the girlfriend is the "trigger", not that there has to be one.
Yeah, those sort of friends don't help.
As I posted earlier mine became friends with a female divorcee that worked for her and the others she began to hang out with were all single, younger partying types.
AS my C would say your W holds the key to this puzzle and all the issues and their resulting behaviors are generated by her.
Her new girlfriend is simply a symptom.
Like itching is a symptom of a rash.
Makes it worse, of course.

"The answers are within you" (can't remember who). Unfortunately, so is the bullshit.
