Best of luck mate. It is a hard process but their thinking is so hazy, anything can make them feel like you are the reason of their unhappiness. I was reconnecting with my wife, she certainly said so, mentioned she was thinking about moving back - but wham - she reconnected with her gym instructor again and went on a high. I feel so sorry for her because she is so confused and living in fantasy world. Wonderful to hear that your wife is staying away from her toxic friend - that is a good sign. We have toxic people around - one of her friends deems herself to be an expert but seems to get some sort of a perverse joy from seeing us apart. To each his own. They ultimately have to decide for themselves like grown ups - not be under someone else's influence. Take care and stay strong.
