And yes, I'm also aware that this "friends advice" issue is only a small part of the overall problem of my wife wanting out. But again, in my last marriage ending, it actually played a pretty significant part, I have the benefit of hindsight on that note. Been there . . . "ignored it" because I didn't really even know it was happening until after the fact for the most part, and it DID play an indisputable part in my marriage ending.
And what are her friends advice?
Quote:
A man was traveling from one city to another city when he met an old lady sitting beside the road. Wanting to know about the people in the town he was traveling to, he stopped and asked the old lady, "What are the people like in the next town?"
She looked at him and asked, "How were the people like in the town that you came from?"
The traveler answered "Oh, they were wonderful, kind, courteous and friendly!"
The old lady said "They are the same in the next town."
The next day another man was traveling to the same city when he met the old lady sitting beside the road. Also wanting to know about the people in the town he was traveling to, he stopped and asked the old lady, "What are the people like in the next town?"
She looked at him and asked, "How were the people like in the town that you came from?"
"Oh, they were terrible, the meanest, most unfriendly people that you would ever meet."
The old lady looked at him and said "They are the same in the next town."
We all have a choice in how we see things. Your wife is a adult and can choose for herself. I choose to focus on things I am responsible for.
