[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 175659, member: 1991"] A thought about everyone else not warning you - if you were in close with this other person (or your workmates considered it possible, or likely) then they would have been reluctant to warn you because it could have gone right back to this woman who then could have "remembered" something unpleasant about the person who warned you. Now watch. They may come forward and welcome you, once they realise you've made your choice. My sister found herself increasingly friendless, in the last months/years of her first marriage. Fewer invitations to go out to dinner with friends; fewer parties; fewer social engagements of ANY kind. And when she did - her husband would embarrass her publicly. She would introduce him to someone and he would say loudly, "Oh, so YOUR'E Janette. You're not fat and ugly at all, you're nothing like she said you were." My sister complained to me also about friends who had "made up lies" or "carried tales" about her husband's philanderings. She cut those people out of her life. (and wondered later why people didn't tell her what everybody knew?) When she finally caught him in the act and threw him out, her friends came out of the woodwork. A lot of them who had been lying low, came out to tell her how happy they were for her. It totally caught her by surprise. There are differences between a social situation and work situations, but sit back and take notes. This could get interesting. Marg [/QUOTE]
