Ok, so she has been told some devastating news, obviously believes her friend (who I believe may have ulterior motives) the friend is hounding her to contact the partner, she is going dizzy and feels sick the friend is giving her "objective" advice, and she is on Chatterbank asking for objective advice.
Call me old fashioned, but if I was told something like that, I don't think you'd see me on Answerbank for a while.
I have given the benefit of doubt and given my personal opinion. I hope it works out well for Jo.
