Practical advice please. What can I do to make this easier? Make me feel less nervous and that I am a downgrade or not as good
She has requested an introduction and I understand it’s the right thing to do. We don’t cross over week to week because of her work. There will be a crossover at the end of April so I want to be prepared. I’m ND and can be a bull in a china shop or panic and say stupid things. I want to be calm and in control 😩

They have a good relationship and he sees it as a natural step. He is supportive of me and how I think about things like this.
It’s not practical to invite her over for tea so it would be a drop off hello as a start.

Appreciate the replies - any practical advice on how to manage it?
It will happen as above, that’s been arranged, I’m looking for help on how to make it easier for me

She's an ex, why do you have to meet her, is it because of children.
