There's nowhere to go. Friends nearby are all mutual and are aware of the situation. I did visit a couple yesterday. Their kids are here for Christmas break and the kids love me and my W. It was a good visit but of course my W comes up on conversation.
It wasn't too bad though. My W and the female of that couple are friends. Most info this friend saw on FB. They still talk and this friend isn't top happy with what my W is doing, has done, will do. I feel like I need to be careful what I say to them but they listen and talk too.
We are playing a dinner today and watch movies with their kids. It'll be fun. Not the same but it'll be ok.
