Last DDay about 9 months ago. Things going well, H seems to understand why he can't have female frinds anymore. I am starting to feel relaxed. Then...OW moved back into town. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />
Her father just stopped our house, out of the blue to say ?HI? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> He said the she has moved back and living in same town as us now. I am scared. What if I run into her at the store? Getting lunch?? I have this very strong feeling that she will try to contact H again. She was always having co-worker "here" mention what she was doing to my H. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
H quit job and this was a good day! I want to trust H that if she does try to contact. He will not accept the call, walk away, whatever he has to do to "have no contact" as promised.
I guess this is the time to trust and see if he knows what he wants/feels...
Any recommendations about what to do if I run into her in town? (I won't start any conversations,however,she is the type that will.)

Did you talk to your H about your feelings? I would talk to him and ask him what he will do to ensure that you feel safe. And keep your eyes peeled and your snooping antenna up.

If you run into her, hold your head high. You aren't the one that needs to worry, she is. If she DARES say anything to you, curl your lip as if you are looking at dog poop and say "I BEG YOUR PARDON?" And walk off.

What about moving out of town?

1day@time,

Why are you scared running into her ?. She is the one should be. You should discuss this with your FWH about it including the NC part.

You can't control what she does but you could control how you would react. You could just ignore her and keep walking.

Thanks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> You're both right. I should not be the one worried. Instead of showing anger or hurt, I will put on my best face of happiness and content and let her think about that.
I did talk to H about NC deal we have. I also told him I was scared. He assured me that if she does try, he will let me know. I will just have to trust... (and keep my antenna up!!!)
I just hate waiting... I know she will try to contact and I am not a very patient person! I prefer to take care of things now! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

And what will he say to her if she contacts him?
