Hey pilot, Just read your post about the phone call with the friend of WAW. Here are my thoughts:
1. Who is this "friend" and why is she getting involved? It seems strange to me that she would be the confidante of your W and then tell you what she said? Maybe I missed the part about that. Do you think she could have ulterior motives? I don't get why this friend would want to gossip about all this with you.
2. The reason your W supposedly gave for delaying the D could be true. On the other hand it could be an excuse on her part. She is not ready to do it, and that is the reason she is saying. That doesn't mean that is the real reason. And above all, her feelings could change. Whatever the reason, she isn't doing it.
3. All the other stuff I would mostly ignore as you said it is old news. Very old news. Who cares.
4. Interesting that she said she was thinking about being with you until you threw cold water on the whole thing. So yeah, I think you know what is happening.
You have a handle on the situation. None of this sounds like news to me. It probably just hurts a lot hearing it again and from someone else. But if you can, let it go. I think the only news you heard was that she wanted to go ahead with the D but was delaying to spare your feelings. That sounds like BS. If she was interested in sparing your feelings none of this would be happening, would it?
Chin up pilot! You are doing great. Let this slide off your back. Hugs, LisaB
