Four weeks in, hopeful but just starting!

Oh, man! Do I understand how "friends" can be toxic in these situations! My H is living with a guy who makes ridiculous, horrible decisions in every part of his life (H is always appalled at his friends decisions), but yet he is the current advice-giver in our sitch. That's great! Lol

So, I feel your pain on that! I would not invite him- invite a friend. Not to be mean or anything, but I see it as a GAL opportunity. You don't even need to tell him you're going, really.

If he wanted to work on things or was being nicer, I would invite him. Just my .02
Or invite him on your way out the door. Just as long as you still go!!!

I'm by no means an expert! Lol but that's how I would handle it.
