W actually set up a meeting with her friend that was telling her to leave. Why? I don't know, she just did. W was not there; it was just her friend and me having a drink at the local jazz club. I don't remember too much of what we talked about. I don't think I tried to pursuade friend to change her mind. It wouldn't have mattered anyway.
After our separation, her friend met OM and HATED him. After we started working things out and W stopped taking OM's calls, he called W's friend to ask how to get W back. Friend's response was "Why the he!! did you go after a married woman in the first place!" Then immediately called W to laugh about his antics.
No moral here. You wanted to know what I did; I told you. I agree with Gucci and Coach. People are unpredictable and can not be controlled. It's not worth the time trying to figure out how to deal with them when the real problem is between you and your W.
