Well sure it's nice for her! She has all the advantages of M while acting as if she's single. But let me hit you with a truth dart. She is not your best friend! Even if she's the only friend you had in the world, she is not your friend at the present time. When we treat our friends like a WW treats her H.........guess what? The friendship is over! B/c people are not going to be friends with a person who treats them that way. So, you should choose not to be in the friend mode, b/c she is not your BFF.


Sorry, this might be a bit of a hijack, so I apologize in advance, but it does relate to T. Sandi, I am curious about your stance on the friendship aspect. I know that many of us on here getting DB coaching are being told by our coaches that we should be trying to start by building friendships even with WS' with active A or who are treating us with other forms of disrespect. I have received that advice and have read other LBS thread also receiving this advice. I know everyone on here respects your opinion, so it would be nice to hear your thoughts on the DB advice. I might be missing something. This is something I have been conflicted about with the coaching. It seems often opposite of what we hear from vets on here. Maybe it is one particular coach??
