I understand your point, and, for example, have avoided including a friend's ex wife in golf outings so as not to upset him.

Maybe I'm too close to the trees to see the forest. Would it make any real difference if the scenario was that I had this woman over to my house almost every time my W was on a (frequent) business trip, with W's knowledge and encouragement, for various reasons the idea of a romantic relationship was ridiculous, and we would only be continuing these obviously platonic dinners?
