dbinpgh1,
I know of the radar you are speaking of and I have been where you are. My MM's daughter and mine were friends, so his W was at my house a couple of times. What I did was made very little eye contact, kept my physical distance, never caused the scenerio where we were alone at any time, and was very casual, almost cool, but remained friendly.
I'll tell you though (which I know won't help, but is just honesty talking) his W has ALWAYS known or had this sixth sense from the moment he and I first met, even before I ever saw her. He used to talk about me to her all the time in the beginning because I was the new person on the job and he would talk about how well we got along, and that was before he and I got involved
My best advice is to AVOID AVOID AVOID them as much as is reasonable. Talk with other people. Don't let yourself get caught looking at him/them or sending secret glances to each other. And best of luck to you. Let us know how it goes!!

I was completely and totally exhausted at the end of the day.
I guess I would make sure that I looked fantastic (for me looking great makes me feel confident which translates into appeal). Then, I would have a drink or two to relax myself and calm my nerves. But just don't drink too much (LOL).
The stranger thing is that MM knows my husband, and he is sort of intrigued when the three of us are together. MM is always asking me how I felt, when the three of us see each other or casually talk together. I don't feel very comfortable at all when the three of us are together because I don't want to hurt MM's feelings by ignoring him, but I don't want to talk to MM and sort of feel that I am rubbing my husband's nose in it either. Yikes. As someone else said, "delicate dance."
