Sorry I missed your post earlier. Too funny about how your sitch and my sitch are turning out.
In terms of my friend, she's never been M and would be a great partner and stepmom for the kids if my W ever went ahead with the D.
I definitely don't want her to feel like I'm using her to get my W back, so we're doing just going to keep hanging out and see what happens.
As for my W, for someone who couldn't wait to leave, she seems unhappy and depressed all the time. I do want us to work out but since she's out of the house and doing her own thing, it's up to her how she lives her life.
