Yes she's real, I mentioned her earlier in the thread. We were best friends throughout college. We've kept in touch on and off over the years, but after BD she became a rock for me to lean on and she's helped me immensely. We've rekindled our old friendship. She divorced from her physically and mentally abusive husband years ago and has raised 4 kids on her own. We're just friends, but I don't feel inclined to explain anything about it to my W, I'll let her wonder what's going on smile And she loves to text. It's not unusual for her to send me 20+ texts before I get a chance to reply, LOL! It could very well develop into something more later, but she knows I'm standing right now.
