i went for a BBQ with joint friends last night and found it very awkward when they announced they are meeting WW and her PA next week! it left me feeling a little betrayed, but i will process this feeling and move on from it, so its interesting to hear someone who has moved on and is introducing his own new wife to those joint friends!
I still haven’t introduced her to this circle of friends. But it will happen sooner or later.
I don’t know if you can blame your friends for staying in touch with your WW. It’s a very awkward situation for them too. You don’t know what story your WW has been telling them. Most friends try not to take sides and they think they’re doing the right thing by staying neutral and supportive to both sides. That’s very common.
But I did lose respect to some of my friends who took it a step further and actually encouraged her affair and the separation. But you also need to understand that I only see a small part of the truth. No one will tell you exactly who said what and who encouraged it. So at some point, you’ll have to understand that the issues are between your W and you only. It’s better to keep your friends out of it or you’ll lose them.
