I don't know how many of H's friend know what is going on, but I know when he complains about me, his friends have told him that they need to look at all of what I do and what it would cost him to replace me. They've told me about the conversations. I would agree that such comments can force the WAS to dig in with the "but you don't live with her comments"

I know that runs through my mind when people tell me how wonderful H is. And is has for years. But I also know that he is genuinely a good person.

I think all of our spouses have some fear of falling back into what the M was like before, and that's what keeps them away, and sometimes peeking back in. Only time will tell if he works out all of his internal stuff.
