Separated since October. Finally making some progress forward with the divorce. I have moved on and I’m seeing a great woman. I’m happy. But signing that today still got me down.

We spoke a few times via text over the last month finalizing some assets. Outside of formal conversation, she claims to still be healing before we can connect. I’m not even sure I want to, but I have told her to never talk to me again. She claims that making such extreme and final statements doesn’t help. There’s a part of me that still wants her in my life, but I don’t think it’s healthy. I go back and forth about it.

She still hangs out with the wives within my college friend group. I see them posting pictures with her on social media (we have each other blocked) and it bothers the hell out of me. I am still very close with their husbands. I considered these women my friends and I have known them much longer than my STBXW. It just bugs me that they remain friends after what she did to our marriage. My buddies tell me it will be probably fizzle out and she’ll stop hanging with the group after a year. Most likely true, but I don’t think I can have a realistic friendship with these women after they clearly chose her side. I know I can’t control people and they have the right to do what they want. How should I approach this with my college friend group?
