[quote=Anonymous]Looking for constructive advice only...please don’t rip me apart.

My family will be traveling on vacation and visiting an old friend.  We have already made tentative dinner plans.  It just so happens that our mutual friend will also be in town with his family.  Of course now the friend I am visiting is insisting we all get together.  However, this person is somebody that I cannot see.  I have worked very hard to heal from significant emotional trauma from this person...it almost ruined my marriage.  Of course DH nor I would agree to get together with this person, but my bigger problem is how to tell my friend no - without raising red flags.  We all used to be very close so it would be fairly shocking for me to say no.  While I doubt this person would ever agree to see me either, my concern is that during the dinner my friend will sabotage the conversation by going on and on about how it’s crazy we are all in the same town on the same week and can’t even get together.  My DH is not going to want to sit through a dinner like that!  I feel like I’m walking into something I’d rather avoid.  Is there anything I can do/say to make this actually bearable at this point?  Not bringing DH to dinner is not an option!  Thanks for any suggestions.  [/quote]
