Hi lalxx, I have to say out of the people I know there isn't one friend in RL who understands what H is going through or my choice to stand for our marriage. They believe I'm just having trouble letting go.
Whenever friends mention dating or wanting to 'fix me up', I just tell them I'm not ready yet. At some point I may be, but only I'll know when that is.
What I tell myself is that before this happened to me if someone had come to me telling me their spouse was acting in this manner I would have said, you're better off without them or why would you want someone that doesn't want you?
One lesson I've learned from this is that MLC is a real mental dis ease that takes the person you've known and loved for years and turns them into a completely different and sometimes not so nice stranger.
Just remember that friends have no idea what you're really dealing with and couldn't unless it happened to them or a loved one. They aren't walking in your shoes.
