Well, my friend was wandering for years, one bad relationship with taken men to the next. It became her thing, she became so non-committal that it consumed her. She tried to get back with her XH last year, but they're now split again - she even had another child with him. She did say that he never changed, used to drink the whole time and i guess never forgave her for what she did, or himself for why things never worked out in the first place. She definitely changed, as she was actually willing to try and make things work, guess that she came out of the fog.
I'm having breakfast with her on Monday so will see what i can glean from her and will definitely update my thread.
She peculiarly stated "that i need to change also, i need to put my foot down". I told her that that that is the plan.
I am sad for what i stand to lose, but happy for what i stand to gain.
Just cos things are going right, doesn't mean that they were always wrong.
