Meeting old friend with benefits

Yesterday my boyfriend of two years tells me that an old friend of his is in town and she would like to get together with us. Normally I would think nothing of it and be excited to meet someone from his past. However, this old friend wasn't ever a girlfriend but they were friends that took a trip across country together and hooked up among other things. Also, he has mentioned her super sexy tattoo on more than one occasion. I know she holds a special place in his heart. Not only that but she is a very well respected yoga instructor, so you can imagine her amzaing body. I don't know why she is in town, but I do know she is recently divorced, which makes the timming seem a little odd to me.

The minute he mentioned this I immediatley got a little jealous . Am I just being rediculous or does old friend with history that just got divorced warrant unsettled feelings? I don't know if I should say anything to him about it or if that would just make it a bigger deal than it needs to be. Also, I am concerned that we are going to meet her and it will turn into a trip down memory lane, a trip I'm not interested in participating in. I trust him, and truly hope that she has the best of intentions and just wants to me and catch up with him. I could use a little help.

Welcome to the board caligirl_jenn,


I can understand you being a little worried and bothered by this. However, since she said she wanted to met both of you than I think it is innocent. Agree to met her and then you can judge for yourself by her behavior.

I think you are making a bigger deal than it needs to be.

Thanks for the advice. You're right. I talked to him and told him that I would be more than happy to meet her, but I don't want to be the audience for a trip down memory lane. He completely understood, told me he respected me too much to subject me to that. He also mentioned that her new boyfriend would be there too. I think it will all be okay.
