Hey Packerfan buddy! I believe one of the problems that we all face is how easily people accept a new person in an R into 'the circle' of family or friends. It would be nice if there was still a better standard of right or wrong in todays society in general.

Any suggestions on how to handle this?
Talk to relative in advance and share your feelings. Expect to be 'shunned' by the rest of the welcoming family but you might be surprised and they will follow your lead. At the event I would be cordial but not friendly, provide an explanation if/when asked.
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
