Let her tell you the story?

How do you think you'll put your foot in it?

My tip.... take a nice soft cushion and position it on the table in front of you. That way when she tells you about the 'Woman' you won't hurt your chin when it keeps dropping. How exciting to have a juicy bit of gossip you can share with others, right?..... Hmm

Good advice like it Cogito , it was previoulsy she made a few suggestive comments to me and I though mmm strange ................so gues I am abit apprehensive about seeing her !

A friend of mine found great happiness with a woman after the breakdown of her marriage.

Although I don't see her in person anymore (different countries) we are friends on the dreaded fb - I had heard from another mutual friend of ours but I just waited for her to tell me.

She and her partner have a family now and she seems extraordinarily happy.

She's left her husband. Why on earth does it matter whether she left for a man or a woman? Please try not to be homophobic about it...

Thanks Colley yea that is all I would wish for my friend to find real happiness in this life thanks for sharing!

She's cheated on her husband and ended the marriage. Be careful what it is exactly you're supporting.

Thanks Cogito my thoughts exactly I will tread carefully and thanks to you all for the support , I am off out now to meet her .
