This is an uncomfortable situation, but here goes (deep breath).

What is the story about the woman with whom your boyfriend had an affair? Is it ever possible to be friends with her? My boyfriend was

way...

cd206 agony auntSometimes, especially if you both feel let down by this guy it is possible to develop a bond based on that. Like if your boyfriend hadn't told her he was with you then you both see each other as the other woman and hatred towards your boyfriend probably outweighs hatred for each other. If you want to be friends with each other I don't think there's anything wrong with it. After all you've both been wronged. Go to a club immediately and dance around your handbags to "I will survive" It helps... honestly!

i think that it is possible to be friends with anyone that you feel comfortable with...even if you once had a strange relationship with them, by being friends you can leave it behind....
