WillDo, my W has always tried to say that she feels men and women can be friends. While I think that is true to an extent, I think that we should all still have healthy boundaries with those friends of the opposite sex. The key is to not put ourselves in a position where temptation takes control.
My W, I feel, exceeded those boundaries with a friend that turned into an EA (no PA to the best of my knowledge). When her EA was at its peak is when I received the BD. I don't believe in coincidences. She put herself into a situation where she failed and was also very argumentative that any of it had anything to do with the BD.
I wouldn't want to share her with anyone either, but in my case, she moved out and I have no control of what she does. She is very good at No Contact...even though I also try it and have increased my GAL activities, it frustrates me that my W and friend of over 25 years total can just cut me out of her life. I guess they all deal with things in their own way.
I pray for all of us on here with prodigal spouses...it is very difficult in deed to deal with all of the hurt. My you gain peace and strength in your journey.
