In what parallel universe would you be 'friends; with a woman like that who was sleeping with a married man?

The very fact that she is dissing you probably inspires J to think that you do the same. Pure projection here.

Everyone else is to blame but them for everything in the universe from house prices, through the weather to the poor relationship with their children. I swear the thought 'Could it possibly be me?'never flitters across the edgs of their consciousness, never mind take up any kind of residence there.

To this day my xh blames me for pretty much everything. Apparently 'everyone' but me gets along with their ex spouse and their new partner. That's nice, isn't it? Cheers you up really.
