I can tell you from experience that yes the friends are a horrible influence. And will hold more sway that you ever will at this point. But you have to ignore it. My W got caught in so much lies from our friends that she just started to alienate them. And they just backed away from her. W circle of friends now include those who cheat in their own relationships. Men who claim they won't judge her, but secretly are trying to sleep with her knowing her morals have gone out the window. And family members with extremely low morals who do the same.
The craziest part is that W talked about these family members like dogs over the years. And now she sought these folks out in unity. If only they had a clue about what she said about them. They would call her a hypocrite and kick her to the curb. But I'll keep all those messages to myself. Truth is WW know who they can and cannot go to to justify their bad decisions.
