S,

I don't know how to help you with this one.

I guess W and I are "friends," sort of. Though we don't have any of the conversations friends have. So I really don't know our status. We will always have a relationship because of the children.

Your M did not get to where it is overnight. And if it is going to revive, it will take time and patience. No, H probably does not feel that way, but when you first met, I don't imagine you thought you would be married. You were friends first. Can you be friends without expectations or would keep thinking because he is your friend, he would consider working on the M?

Is cutting him completely out of your life what you really want?

Only your heart can tell you.

Let us know what happens?
