Several of our MFs are pretty angry at my W for her actions or lack thereof. Now that W is coming back for a one week visit, many of our friends are telling me to pull the plug, that she is never coming back, that her mind is made up, and that even if she realizes at some point that she made a mistake by giving up everything here, that she would still never be able to return to her life here, or even a different life here.

Our friends are mad that she is stringing me along (there words, not mine). They understand why I have been supportive of my W, but think it is time to end the M. Be done with it, so I can start to heal. IC says the same thing.

The handwriting is on the wall, to be sure, but something just does not feel right.

W visit here next week is going to be brutal.
