W’s uncle will have a birthday dinner tonight with W’s side of the family. He is a nice man. He’s knows of my sitch and he’s inviting me over later. I said I will come. I notified W of this so that she won’t be caught by surprise by my sudden appearance there.
I plan to be cordial with W later, but also will try to minimize our interactions. I can tell I am still not fully detach and still harbour some resentment. I do not want that resentment to manifests itself in my behaviour towards W. No interaction is better than bad interaction right?
Any other advice about code of conduct around W? or maybe a few words of wisdom to set my mind in the right frame (i.e. minimizing sadness and resentment)?
I see a lot of rationalization for accepting this "nice man's" invitation. My guess is that your intentions here are not all pure. This is her family. And if you want to minimize interaction then I would suggest calling her uncle and saying: "Happy birthday! Unfortunatly, I cannot make it tonight. I have plans, but wanted to let you know I appreciate you and the invitation."
