For some background....

 

My H had an EA with the sister of his best buddy about 2-3 years ago...contact since then with the friend and his wife/GF has been non-existant. However, recently she got in touch and said they were splitting, and now they are reconciling, and my husband and I talked over the weekend about the sitch. It is now confirmed that they want to come down this weekend to get together.

 

I have not spoken to nor seen the friends wife/GF for 2 years; we were all close friends. The OW lives 1200 miles away, but her brother and her are very close. Please refer to my other posts for info.

 

I am looking for suggestions on how to handle this, as it will be uncomfortable.

My general advice:

 

Take a deep breath, let the past be the past, be open, and simply accept the people back. People screw up. I've gained about 200 times more through forgiveness and acceptance than whatever I would have gained through confrontation, revenge, etc.

 

And if you're uncomfortable, just say it. "I'm a bit uncomfortable, how about you?"
