So not one of them would help you out and just facilitate communication in a neutral way? I understand that none FEEL impartial, that is an expectation. But we are not asking them to FEEL impartial, just to behave in that way.

The responses you posted above give me the feeling that they don't understand the job. It is really the easiest job in the world if done right. All they have to do is pass on pertinent communication to you. And there should be very little.

I read em the post about IM job. They are more hateful than me. I haven't had feelings of hate...sadness...pity...hurt...devastation...but not hate. Anger comes up in me when I think of WH and the gangsta hood rat OW....and when dealing with my truck. But otherwise I'm doing OK.

How about asking your close friend to do it? Tell her understand she hates him but ask her if she could PRESENT a neutral front on your behalf?

I would try to look for ways to make this work instead of reasons why it can't work. I am sure your friend wants to help, right? No one is asking her to rid herself of her bitterness. The only ask is that she ACT in a neutral way when dealing with him on your behalf.

When I am an IM, I feel deep revulsion for the WS, but I can still maintain a neutral front for the sake of the BS.

I wish I could, but my husband is definitely not enthusiatic about my being an IM! I do help other IMs and would be glad to help yours if you can find someone.

Well that went downhill fast. My WH blocked her number so she couldn't text him. Guess he doesn't like an IM. Sigh. Now what?

Wait a minute. Did you send him a Plan B letter? You are really jumping the gun here.
