I guess I can relate to Blackfoots POV though. When H made overtures toward me while still involved with ow, he made ME feel like the OW in their little relationship. Interesting for a while, but just yucky when it kept going on. I have gotten all sorts of love notes from H, but not the actions to back them up. My thought was, "why should I have to ask my H to give up his girlfriend?" He should have had enough backbone to just do it.
Yes, BF can try to be civil and talk to her, but gosh, it's hard sometimes when (projecting here) everything s/he says is a lie....just my 2 cents, and no, I don't need my change
Each experience in life has formed me, become part of me, made me stronger.
