I honestly believe that they are just friends. I honestly believe that she may not give his friendship up. I know that I can not reconcile with him as her friend. I know that I have said what I needed to and now need to let it go and focus on me.

Hey Jp, glad you're back and some good news. Take it slow man. I know you're still working on you, but IMO, the roadblock OM getting out of the way will help. Good luck JP! Newman

Thank you snodderly and MM, I know this board isn't about people getting divorced (though that does happen a lot, even with appearently well exectued and consistant DB'ing). At first I saw the principles behind DB as a way to get my wife back (duh,

B, you didn't deserve this. I doubt your H has found the love of his life. He might be distracted, but until he takes the time (a long time) to sort himself out he will eventually realize that all of the same issues followed him. Your H has a plan

Jeack, in my opinion the car lease is a business deal. You have an agreement. You need to take a hard line especially in the beginning or you set precedent and let it get all squishy. The deal was with your W, not her mom, right? So you don't tell h

Not sure how to lay down the law. If I tell her that something is unacceptable I get this response text book "nobody is asking you to stay here" The only law I could see is ultimatum or make her start owning that she is unwilling to work

IMHO, your WAW should pursue you if things are to get better. Until that time, you should not make matters worse by asking her out on a date. It will show her a desperate man who is pining away for her. That is not what she should be seeing in you
