What to do when their friends suggest leaving?

[Bummedout]

Based on the above snippets taken from your own quotes,
you sound a little angry, scared, confused, etc.

Let me try this again Robx: I don't want your clumsy attempts at psychoanalysis. Pretty much anyone and everyone in this situation is a little angry, scared, and confused. That rates as a big "Duh!"

No one made fun of your personal situation.

Now yer just lying, or have an unrealistic and really narrow, self-serving definition of what "making fun of" is.

You don't like some of the advice given and the fact that this situation is currently out of your control is bothering you.

I didn't want your advice. Still don't. I don't want your opinion. Still don't. You were an ass. Still are. Asked ya to go away. Still here.

Your wife is leaving you for many reasons including because you don't make her "happy" and possibly because you lost your job and she is getting poor advice from her friends who she appears to be listening to and she doesn't appear to want to listen to you anymore. That seems like a pretty accurate recap of your sitch so far.

Of course that would seem accurate to you. You don't know what you're talking about, but hey, clearly you don't let that little detail stop you from thinking you have everything pegged.

Tell me, Doc Phil-with-hair-and-no-mustache, what makes you think she isn't listening to me anymore? Nothing I've said even remotely supports that supposition. One reason I haven't said anything you could reasonably infer that from, is because that isn't the case. The only thing that's really come into play on in any significant manner is the "Friend thing", and for all I know, she could be honoring my wish. I simply don't know, and neither do you. Unless . . . maybe . . . . hey! Are you GOD? If so . . . my apologies.

Good luck, I hope you find the answers you're looking for and I hope it works out in the end.

Falls too short. And rather obviously insincere.
