I think to add to that, being friends with somebody means they treat us with respect as we treat them with respect. That's a foundational piece of friendship in my opinion.
Besides that part of it, there would also have to be forgiveness. You can work on that, but it may take a long time and it would help if she asked for it, right?
She has a lot to learn, Tad. She may never learn it. But on your end, you need to expect and demand respect in any of your relationships. I know you know that outside of your relationship with your Ex.
It's not a matter of what she wants unless she is willing to do what it takes. And if you are willing to allow her to.
She has a longer way to go than you Tad. Keep your distance. She'll come find you if that's what she really wants.
