I am new here and looking for help. I looked but didn't see anything on this subject...
My ex and I have spoken for 9 hours over the last 2 days about reconciling - what went wrong, how not to make the same mistakes, etc. We are both to blame. However, my friends are going to think I have rocks for brains...in fact, I may lose a friendship over this. I don't know how to break it to them.
I made the mistake of telling a few close friends all the gory details...I really didn't think getting back was in the realm of possibilities. But, God is still in the miracle business...and that's what is happening.
As I said, we are both to blame but they only know the yucky stuff about him. We are grown adults - 48 and 53 - and this is the man with whom I want to share my life. He has laid his heart out and I know we are meant to be together. How do I handle my friends? What do I say?
Yes, he did treat me badly (not physically, just not in a loving manner) and I thought he was looking around (via dating sites). Regardless, we know what needs to be worked on and are willing to do the work. But he is a loser to my friends and not deserving of me, etc.
Has anyone else had this experience? What did you do?
I appreciate any insight you can provide.
