Wanting to be friends is their way of either stringing you along or making themselves feel better about what they are doing.
Tyler - you nailed it….and neither reason works for me. I am sorry I don't want to be your friend because you are throwing me a bone out of pity (as daybyday so eloquently put it) or because I am your Plan B.
However, I don't think that H is stringing me along. Or, at least, he doesn't think so because he has repeatedly told me not to have "false" hope and that we were headed for D - even from the start of this fiasco. I think it has been his intention from the very beginning that we are going to be BFF's based on emails and conversations we have had throughout the last 8 months. He went so far as to say we could have breakfasts together with the kids, etc, before we took them to school….
He's living in a dream world though because I have no intention of being anything other than H/W or civil co-parents. I have plenty of friends that would never treat me the way that he did. I just have to make sure my actions are within my boundaries and that those actions are getting my point across….
