DizzyDi: Even though I have told her, she wants "to look after me" which means to me I have a decision, either cut all ties to this women or try again to let her down gently, when I tried to explain that I liked "cock" she said if you have to go with your EX thats fine, I don't think I can let this person down gently .....
I understand. I hope it all works out for you. You know her, and she knows you, and if she's ignoring what you're saying, then you're probably right. The only way would be to break off the friendship. That's not easy, but you might have to do it for you.
They say everyone comes into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. She might have had her season in your life, and this is how it ends. I know how hard that can be...had a 25-year friendship break off for different reasons, and it shouldn't have over what it did. Sometimes, it just happens when it's meant.
