[quote=markw] But I did lose respect to some of my friends who took it a step further and actually encouraged her affair and the separation.
Those aren't friends.
We use that term too loosely. I have made no secret to the board that I am a recovering alcoholic. I had "friends" that when I went into recovery no longer wanted to hang out. I made it clear that to remain sober I couldn't be around partying and drinking. They were not interested in hanging out without partying and drinking. Thus, not true friends.
Value true friends. Jettison those that are not.
