I have to say that agreeing to a family dinner seems like a bad idea to me. JB, take this with a grain of salt, I haven't followed your sitch closely because you were getting great advice from others, but getting to "play family" seems like cake eating to me. I would continue to politely decline. If and when she says why I would say something like "it just seems like it would be confusing to everyone involved, including the boys."

I firmly believe that if R is her ultimate goal, she will not allow you not agreeing to a "family dinner" prevent her from continuing to press for that.
