The "friend" is a "lady" who used to live around the corner from me. She was the "good samaritan" who gave my W somewhere to stay 3 years ago after she walked out. That was the time that my W saw her for what she was (and is) - an interfering busy-body. Even her family say this is the case - she wasn't allowed in our home (or theirs)!!! That was also the time that they came to blows - in public!!!
Problem is that my W has fallen into the "honey-trap" and see's her as the person to be with, follow and emulate. Not in a sexual way you understand. Just someone that enjoys life (in a pub) and hasn't got a care in the world. Exactly what the W desires.
Dropped a little comment for the W to chew over when she was picked up by the "friend" a short while ago - "Off with J again? People are beginning to talk again".
Shouldn't have but I couldn't resist as it's true. W had a puzzled look on her face. Hope it sank in. She did get away from her last night and it did her the world of good.
