FIL called and asked if he could come for a visit over the July 4th weekend. And bring his girlfriend. I am not at all excited. I don't want to meet FIL's girlfriend and I sure as heck don't want to spend an entire weekend entertaining her in my house. And, of course, we are wondering just how quickly things are moving with FIL and this woman since FIL is suddenly so determined that we meet her.
But I guess we are just going to have to suck it up and deal, right? I mean, nothing can be worse than watching MIL die, so if we can get through that I suppose that we can get through anything. It just feels like such a betrayal to MIL.
To alleviate some of the awkwardness, we've invited SIL and her family to come down as well. Thankfully, they've agreed. Having 12 people in the house should definitely cut down on the awkward silence moments. I think we'll invite DH's other sibs as well--then we'd really have a full house.

wow, I can see why that would be hard. Way to be a good sport about it though and give it a try. Hope it goes well!
Yikes, that is definitely awkward. Hope you get through the weekend, and find that you can like this woman. Awkward.
When people lose someone they've been with for a very long time, the thing that is often the most unbearable is the loneliness.
Try not to think of it as a betrayal. It is just too painful for him to learn to be alone.
