Dear Suzanne:

You are welcome. As painful as this is for you, having clarity feels way better than confusion, doesn’t it.

As to why he told you about her and told her about you, I figure it about the same dynamic as when a person who has friendships with two people, person A and person B, then proceeds to gossip to person A about Person B, and separately, gossips to person B about person A. It lets off steam and the person has an easier time proceeding with the (compromised) friendships with both people.

Learn best you can from this experience, use your clarity to learn so that you can choose better in the future, have a better, way better relationship in your future, sooner than later.
