Oh yeah, Matt - I was very careful just to be gracious, especially if this were to get back to my W. This friend doesn't even know the OW (which is who my W was with), and I get the feeling my W might actually be telling this friend that she's still not sure about "us" and taking things slow with her dating - because she doesn't want people to know that she started the EA before I knew anything, and is actually leaving me for her. Doesn't make her look good, of course.
Again, I can't mindread, so either that's a carefully planned way of presenting her situation to a friend from whom she wants nothing but affirmation for her actions... or... there is truth in what she says, and she still isn't 100% sure we are done, she just needs space to figure things out. That seems to be what this friend's understanding of things is.
Believe none of what she says, is what I wanted to say to this friend. But then, she doesn't need to know that. Only I do.
