Okay, this evening was weird. He wanted to talk to me about a situation that is coming up in two weeks at work. He has a charity golf outing to go to and he is part of a foursome with the OW. Now he and the OW have been inseparable at work for the past 7 years. He said he would see if he could be put into another foursome so he doesn't golf with the OW that day, but that it was definitely going to be awkward and cause a LOT of raised eyebrows because they ALWAYS do EVERYTHING together. And this event is filled with all the bigwigs from his work. So he wanted to know what I wanted him to do.
I told him I did not want him golfing in the same foursome as the OW. That people are going to start noticing on their own that they aren't going to lunch anymore and aren't as friendly as they use to be. And then he asked me what I thought he should to say to people if they asked, because he already had a woman ask him this week if him and the OW were "in a fight" because they weren't hanging out. I didn't know what to tell him to do, but I thought it was encouraging that he was being open with me and asking my opinion? Or am I being hoodwinked?
