So true.
I've received comments about the "traveling alone" thing as well. My ex-in-laws are always surprised that I can drive from here to their house with the kids, ALL BY MYSELF- which is a 2-day trip covering about 800 miles or so. It is NOT a big deal!!! But people get all freaked and shocked that I would do that. "You mean you stop and get a hotel by yourself, too?"
Uh... yeah- because it's better than sleeping in the van, parked out somewhere. WTH?!?
I guess I didn't grow up as one of the dependent crops of women. My ex-in-law's family females are a bit more dependent on their men (or others)

I would stick a mirror in her face and tell her to take a good luck.
The drama continued today.
LOL. Man I would be considered totally kookoo since I fly, rent cars, make hotel reservation, wander about places I''ve not been before, alone, internationally. My mom totally flipped when I told her I was driving 5 hours into Mexico by myself. I call that being a grown up.
And Isys, that "friend" does not sound too friendly to me. Yikes, drama head case more like it.

And the thing is she is VERY smart and a great nurse.
You can't make other people make good choices. She has made a conscious decision to have this relationship with a married man. She knows what she is doing, she knows the risks involved, yet she chooses to behave this way. Projecting on to you her insecurities that stem from her history of cheating and being cheated on does neither of you any good. So don't take anything she says about your life and your relationship to really have much merit. You have made other choices, choice's, in my opinion, that reflect a much higher standard of honesty and integrity. Please don't make excuses for her. She is an adult, she is responsible for what she says and what she does. Many of us try to see the best in other people, make excuses for their poor treatment of us. Not really a good thing. Stand up for yourself, you are comfortable and secure in your relationship, so be confident in those assessments.
