Ugh. "Bad influences" are just... bad. My WW has a bff who is like the worst influence possible. WW herself (three affairs while married to my own best friend), extremely jaded view on marriage, runs in same circle of friends and hangs out at same bar as the OM in my sitch, has been a direct liaison and enabler in the past for my W and OM, "girls gone wild" attitude, etc. And my W's best friend since they were like 18, so you can say no ill about her. W grew apart from her for a few years while we are married, but they are tight as tight can be right now, and it is NOT helping my sitch AT ALL. Sometimes I feel like I am the only one on my side, here.
