There's one other strange thing about this particular former friend. She had a friend before me that she was helping through a divorce. They had a falling out later, and she refused to speak to him anymore. Since this man was friends with her husband also, the two of them continued to be friends. Some months later, my former friend commented to me, "The reason he is hanging around my husband is because he's trying to get closer to me. He wants to be in my life again." It made me kind of wonder how she sees things. She actually thought that all of the time her husband and this guy spent together, and the comraderie between them, was only a cover for trying to get closer to her.
