Funny you say that. The forgiving thing. I have some close friends who are no longer close after our separation. Others who I didn't expect stepped up to the plate to offer their support and help to me. Situations like this really let you see who your "friends" are! I have tried to forgive but alas the hurt remains. One friend just broke up with his significant other after 15 or so years. I couldn't help but gloat a little. He hasn't told me, I heard about it through the grapevine. He and my H are still close friends. I once told my H I couldn't care less if I ever saw him again. He was surprised and told me I should get over it. Yeah, because he sided with my H.
My own brother will no longer come to my house as he refuses to see my H after he left. Really sucks too that I have to keep them apart. But if I have to chose one of course it will be my H. So you aren't the only one. People seem to make their own opinions even when they are not the ones in the marriage.
