Heard through the grapevine that XH reached out to another mutual friend recently after a year of silence.
This is the third in the last month. The first one gave XH a reality check about his behaviour and decisions and told him he didn't want to associate any more. The second one just blocked and ignored XH.
The third one told him he was not comfortable with how XH has treated me, does not agree with how he has acted, and is disappointed that he abandoned his parental responsibilities.
XH questioned them taking my side and not supporting him. He accused them of throwing away years of friendship. He begged them to meet up so he could get it all out in the open.
All three friends held their boundaries and stopped replying. They are standing firm on their decision to cut him out. I have never and would never ask them to do that, but it means a lot to me.
These are men who went to high school and uni with XH. Many of them lived together after graduating uni. They witnessed every step of my relationship with XH. One was best man at our wedding.
They are my friends too, and I love them all dearly, but they were XH's friends first. It's sad.
