Reconnecting with family and friends.

[saffie]

If these people are supportive of you getting back together then I am sure they will be warm and welcoming. Also, they will probably feel embarrassed by their behaviour as well.

Try and stay by your partners side at gatherings to begin with; be attentive, don't wander off with the boys and leave her alone to cope. Gradually it will get better. get some of the female friends to invite her out on a one to one basis for coffee or something and make sure they are primed NOT to talk about your R difficulties unless your W broaches the subject.

My H and I found our friends tried to avoid speaking about what had happened in our M- it made them uncomfortable. Now enough time has gone past sometimes my H and I will joke about it in company...............time does heal.
