“Whoever told you only to communicate with me about S is out of their mind. Our old pastor told me you want a divorce (I didn’t tell him that though we have talked about all kinds of things including that possibility), and it looks like you don’t want a friendship or to be able to support our family together so I’m just here in limbo. Im not sure how we can ever move forward without talking to each other”…”You have been my best friend for over half my life and I am telling my friends I just don’t get it. I don’t know what’s going on.”
