Need a bit of cheerleading to help me prep for upcoming encounter with OW

DH had a brief affair eight months ago. We're working on reconciliation.

I have only come into contact with OW once since discovering DH's affair, and I kept a dignified silence, but this week I'll see her again at an event the DC are involved in.

She won't be expecting to see me, so in that sense I have the upper hand, but I'm dreading it to be truthful. While I've definitely indulged in fantasies of burning down her fucking house a vengeful nature, in reality the thought of any sort of confrontation horrifies me. Hopefully there won't be anything of the sort, and I can just blank her, but I'd really appreciate some advice on how to cope with it (what shall I wear?!) and general handholding and cheerleading, if anyone feels able.

Well done OP. And best of luck for keeping your relationship on track Flowers

Sorry to hear what you are going through op. My advice would be glam yourself up, go in and smile. If she approaches you, ask how she is and how her dh is. That will make her cringe!!!!
