OP are you a guy ?  I’m surprised a woman would write a post like this [/quote]

Yes, friend from college. Our children are friends, too. I know her ex by extension of her, but she and I have the relationship (which has never been intimate and I am happily married).[/quote]

DP.  Never crossed my mind you might have more-than-friends interest in her, it sounded more like you’re hot for him. [/quote]

Nope, not gay. Weird it came across that way.

I guess I come across more from the perspective of why are you surprised? Did you just assume men are idiots when it comes to these things? We aren’t.

I mean, I did tell her something like that at one point but she was pretty dug in on her narrative about him not doing enough around the house, etc.[/quote]

First I think you should mind your own business.  If you didn’t live in the home while she was married you have no idea at all what the husband did or did not contribute.  Mine was a lazy sack.  Thankfully that was more than apparent to others when I was outside doing all the house stuff and the yard stuff and it didn’t come as a surprise when I ultimately divorced him.  If he had been visible in doing even some things people may have thought he was an equal partner.

After we divorced he actually started taking care of his house and his things and being an adult.  And I’m happy for him.  Hopefully your friend can be happy for her ex who seems to be stepping up now that they are no longer together..  His dynamic with me was that I did everything and he did nothing.  Could be like that with your friend.  Bottom line is either be a friend to your friend or step away.  Don’t sit there in judgment of her.[/quote]
