Thanks everyone for all the feedback and honesty. Looks like I'm going to have to start yet another new thread!
I've tried not to put a whole lot of thought into how to navigate the OM/circle of friends issue until we're back in MC on Wed. I have absolutely 0 desire to ever talk to or be in the vicinity of OM, however I do understand that some compromise may be required on my part as far as the circle of friends are concerned. 1 day at a time.
W and I just got back from a 'date' earlier. I had planned on rock climbing for something a little different, but apparently didn't pay close enough attention to the hours. W mentioned maybe us taking S12 another time. So we ended up getting dinner then the movie 'Gone Girl.' I figured she wanted to see that with her girlfriends, but she suggested we go see it. Tomorrow she asked about her and I taking the kids to a movie. Our interaction seems to be going well lately. We both seem interested in what the other person is saying and don't just talk about kids and bills, like in the past.
Ironic that I ran into one of W's best friend's H last night. They seem to be heading towards a D and quite a few people 'blame' my W. They're both verbally abusive to each other (mainly him) so maybe D is the right choice. Anyways, we only talked for a few, but I could sense his anger (his W proposed the S). So this morning I get a call from his W asking what he told me. We haven't really spoken in a while, mainly because I didn't want to involve one of W's friends, but we ended up talking for an hour and a half about each other's situations. I think it was good for both of us. She's part of the 'circle of friends', but I knew her before that.
Oh, almost forgot- W told me tonight that she closed her FB account last night (yes I double checked). Definitely a positive step and one taken without my nagging.
