Situation Normal; All Flummoxed Up

Thanks for the X chromosome perspective punkin. I was raised as a Southern gentleman, so I've never called anyone that, but its crossed my mind as a good moniker for some people.

I know you both are right. Just to clarify, she's living on her own. But yes she's still transfixed by whatever spell he's put on her. The dope left his wife and they've shared marital misery via work contact for years. So whether he's been her "work husband" or not, I don't know. They've known each other for five years plus. The thought that her taking two failed marriages into another R with a recently divorced douche who's willing to break up another is almost comical.

It's probably time he deals with her woman problems and the drama at work. I don't want to be her BFF anymore. The problem always lies in the interaction with the kids. I can't tell her not to show at ball games. There's got to be some method for interacting daily with her and yet allowing detachment without animosity.
