My W's friend is also not typical EA and almost ALMOSTfits into just friends bracket. I am relatively confident it will not develope but it is a danger.
Someone pointed out early on for me that I could become the prefect H and perfect man and not be noticed due to potential EA. I know it is a symptom and not the cause of our situation BUT maybe it is blocking our situation.AsAs I have said many times, at best he is a well meaning but anti M friend .
Ideally I would like to get passed Christmas without this battle as I am nit confident of W wanting to stay. This is for the children's sake. Funnily I was convinced that last Christmas would be our last family Christmas!
I am not clear what you suggest I do.
