RAI: Thank you for checking in. It does help to hear someone seeing that I've made progress. I think what frustrated me more about this convo I had with her friend yesterday was her throwing all of this crap at me as if the last 4 months hadn't even happened. With time to reflect, I realize that it has nothing to do with my actual progress, but more with the fact that the "reasons" my W and her friend have for the split are not all that connected to reality. I am no longer going to have these kinds of conversations with her friend. They are horrible for me
As my IC put it, your W is case building. She is constructing a narrative that she can live with. Either way, you should not concern yourself with her narrative. Just work on yourself. I will echo some of the other DBers here and suggest that you don't say too much to the friend. I do not think she is a friend of the marriage. RAI
