A couple of years ago my husband visited a longtime friend, S. During the visit my husband had a one night stand with a mutual friend of his and S. They all stayed at the same apartment that night, so S is aware of what happened that night. Anyway, my husband and I have moved past the hurt and are trying to reconcile and make our marriage work. My problem is when S calls or is in contact with my husband. The contact is rare, but every time he calls I fall apart emotionally. Well, S is getting married and he wants my husband to be the best man. So how do I resolve what I feel emotionally and do I attend this wedding? What if she's there?

Dear Yap25,<P>I am sorry to hear about your situation. I understand because my fiance has a friend who is not good for our relationship. Perhaps this seems harsh, but out of respect for you, your husband should decline his friends offer and go to the wedding as a guest. Going to the wedding will be awkward for you given the history of your H and his friend, so your H. should try to give a little her and take you into consideration. What I mean is that you are willing to go because they are friends, but what are you suppose to do while your H is busy with the wedding party? As much as you don't want to, your thoughts will wander back to a bad memory. Something no one wants to happen. Good luck!
