In a bit of a quandary, and hoping for suggestions or advice.
An acquaintance, Linda, has contacted me out of the blue to meet for coffee next week.
We are both widowed and our husbands were friends, but we only met on a few occasions, had little in common, and never socialised.
My social life isn’t great at present and I agreed to meet as am trying to get out more.
A chance meeting with a third person where I mentioned this has made alarm bells ring, and I’m a bit worried.
Unfortunately Linda’s husband was a serial cheater. He always had another woman in the background. My DH never went into detail, didn’t really approve, but never tried to interfere.
I’m now aware that she has somehow found out about at least one of the women and I’m worried she wants to ask me awkward questions.
I don’t know how to react. I don’t know many details, I never asked.
I don’t want to get involved, but if I was in her position I would want to know.
I can only think that it might be best to postpone our meeting until an unspecified later date, and then never reschedule. It might make things awkward when we next see each other, but it seems a better option.
