Can I really do this #3

[Dtrmned]

Nope, not all a repeat. I appreciate the input Sandi.

I am truly doing my best to not let her past and our past describe or determine how I think she is feeling or what she may/may not do now due to her WW, but I can't help to take into account the HUGE past history prior to me that she still deals with on a daily basis. She has had counselors in the past, but I think with the onset of this issue of WW and wanting a D, it has brought it all back up.

I agree on the woman side with the EA. She will feel more drawn into a woman and the "friend" she has been talking to for 18 mos now is just feeding her into this delusional life that "may" be there. To the point of "Me and my friend are starting a company, I will give you a job paying $$$ per month, you can live off of that right?" Only for me to find out that both "partners" have ZERO capital to invest and they are looking for an "angel" investor without giving up any equity. FAT CHANCE and a pipe dream. W knows my experience and expertise and is very careful on sharing information since she knows I can pick it apart quickly and we all know she doesn't want that! So yes, woman friend is a huge issue. I don't know if there are any other friends out there, but this one is the big one as far as I know. If we were to begin working on our R, that would be the first thing that has to go. ZERO communication moving forward.

In a weird place today as you all can tell. Optimistic but also just waiting for another bomb to drop. I guess such is the life of a LBH and what we have to deal with as long as we wish to...
