Yes, true. But consider this: maybe she knew her marriage was failing and was afraid leaning into this friendship would prevent her from denying that. Maybe she was being abused and couldn't be there for anybody. Maybe she was terrified to say the wrong thing. A rock solid marriage doesn't generally fall apart in just 5 years so she was probably scared to face truths that OP's situation would show her. Doesn't mean she wasn't a jerk... but, if she is able to apologize and recognize she failed you, I might give her another chance if you think she's otherwise a good person. [/quote]

Then she owes OP an explanation and an apology first and foremost. She should NOT have started out with a request for support. [/quote]

I agree.  She should have lead with the apology.  I'd respond with something along the lines proposed by other posters.  If she wants to respond with a full-throated apology, then OP can decide whether that changes anything for her.  But it's on her to apologize and take responsibility.  [/quote]
