What do you say?

I am supposed to attend a party/business function tomorrow,
that supports a business project my ex and I started 4 years
ago. I'm hoping that he won't attend, but that is still
up in the air. If he does, it will be uncomfortable, but
I will handle it gracefully. More than likely I will leave
shortly thereafter.

We've known these folks for some time, so I will have to address
the break up. What do I say? some of these folks I know quite
well, and if he shows up with the other woman, then what?
I will still be gracious and then make a hasty retreat I suppose.
I guess I will let him explain after I leave.

I dread the day I have to explain to friends and family, particularly
his fmily, since I've know his brothers longer than I've known
him. We've always had this agreement that we wouldn't speak poorly
about one another to other people. His brothers really push me.
They know him too well.

How do you address the break up with mutual friends and family?

Tell your family and your friends anything you want. However, it's up to him to tell his family and his friends.
