My husband's best friend's ex, wants to come over and visit. I was never close to her. I kind of feel uncomfortable about her wanting to come over. Her ex-husband and I are very close friends. I think she wants to visit my son. It is his birthday. I don't know what to tell her. What would you do?

What does your son want? If he would like to see her perhaps you can arrange a meeting away from your home.

IS she close to your son . I find nothing wrong of her visiting your son . Then , perhaps you can let them be by themselves and serve some refreshments . No need to talk if you don't feel like it .

@whiteream Oh is that so . Maybe she is trying to be close to him , because she knows your husband adores him . Doing that would be an added points for her .

That does not sound appropriate why don't you just say you won't be home.

I may just do that. It just doesn't feel right to me. My husband's friend is more like a brother to hum. I just very uncomfortable with her coming over to my house.

@whiteream I can understand the uncomfortable feeling and it would be very awkward to have her there.

Well, if she wants to visit your son, i find nothing wrong with that for as long as she will only pay a short visit and will not stay for long. However, if you don't feel like allowing her then be true to her. Just tell her politely the reason why you are not comfortable to let her come over.

@whiteream Yes, that is the best thing to do.

I think I am going to ask her ex if it would bother him that I saw her and depending on how he feels, what I will do.

Tell her that you prefer that she does not come to visit, after all I do not believe that you care if she feels offended.

@whiteream I am sure that if your son would like to see her it would be different, but in this case, tell her that you prefer not to see her.

somehow you always see things that I don't see. She isn't coming ober anyway. My son doesn't even remember. If he wanted to see her it would be different.

Sounds to me like she has some other reason for wanting to visit, like trying to see what her ex is up tpo now. I see from other responses that she will no longer be coming and that is best for one and all I think.

ya, I was just uncomfortable with the idea. No one else really seemed to mind. But, she isn't and that is that.

I think you should just tell her straight forward that it isn't appropriate or else she might continue to ask as time goes on.

Abby you are always the one with the up front answer. I guess, that would be best. I don't want to hurt her feelings. I hope she understands.

It is kind of a sticky position to be in, isn't it? How does her ex feel about it?

@whiteream If he is okay with it, then it would be up to you and how comfortable you would be.

guess not. She just wants to come over by herself and visit, he isn't even involved. I haven't seen her in years. It is just wrong even for her to ask, I think.

Maybe you can meet her outside your home for a while - siva
