Ha rH, that's pretty coincidental! How does the drinking buddy treat you? I'm so glad that he accepts your reconciliation. An immature drinking buddy might be resentful.
I know your vacation is going to go well. Just work your DB magic on your MIL. You are both the wife AND the daughter in law of the year!
I like this "I'm thinking that these things or people that MLCers depend on ... are weaned off slowly. Very slowly. And we just continue to be patient. And be there for this best friend that we love and cherish that has been through this terrible crisis."
see TVS, your H is just weaning himself from Frumpy slowly. Your patience is paying off. I was thinking - maybe she is pushing extra hard because she's already embarassed because everyone at work thinks she is a slut. Having him break up with her will be a big humiliation. But oh well, she shouldn't try to steal some else's H!
