The question is, if they've happily accepted her, then that doesn't show a hell of a lot of respect for me, so are these the kinds of people I really want to retain friendships with? I don't even know at this point.
Hi Ophelia,
I have not commented on your situation to this point, but I would like to add a comment here since this is a recurring theme for all of us.
I personally wouldn't pass judgement on friends of his/yours, or mutual friends. They are kind of tossed in the middle of the situation and they probably don't want to take a stand one way or another. Give them the benefit of the doubt.
My stbx and I are both able to maintain our relations with our mutual friends individually. I seldom, if ever, say anything about my R trouble to them so as I don't place them in the middle of it. I'm pretty sure my stbx does the same.
Lovers come and go, but friends are hard to find, don't part with them so easily.
