You think I should not be moving on? I have been single and celibate for more than a year.

No. You should move on! But that should be done with someone who is

1. Not an ex of a friend
2. Not in your AA meeting
3. Has a face your ex has never seen

In other words, someone who has the possibility of being drama free.

This sounds inconsistent with the previously mentioned hate-fucking.

I meant, celibate aside from the hate-fucking.

Hate-fucking doesn't count.

Agreed, although my former firm's parties were legendary for fistfights and drunken hookups among the lawyers.

I await the day when you demonstrate that "tough love" attitude towards a woman who returns to her abuser.

As far as I know McDouche is a cheater and a manipulator and maybe a stalker but hasn't hit ABBA or tore up her house. Unless I missed something, she hasn't had to call the police on him. And ABBA did something E/O's friend hasn't done yet -- she kicked McDouche out when she realized what a louse he is.

Sounds like she knew he had a drug problem, among other issues, and she let him convince her to have a baby.

And after kicking him out, she continued to "hate-fuck" him on a regular basis.

I have plenty of sympathy for ABBA (despite my "don't think of yourself as a victim" position). I also, based on what little I know, have sympathy for E/O's friend. But you, obviously, know enough to have decided that he doesn't merit your sympathy -- but that has nothing to do with his sex.

Yeah, right. I believe that.

Has anyone else watched "Every Fucking Day of My Life?" It's a documentary on HBO about an Oregon woman who killed her husband with her son after 20 years of the most vicious abuse you've ever heard. Daily abuse. It takes place during the 4 days before she reports to jail to serve a 10 year sentence. It is a very interesting and well done documentary.

No, but I'll be sure to add this to my holiday viewing list.

He has been sober for more than 6 years.

I would agree with you completely, if your wimpy, evolved sensitivity didn't make me want to hit you.
