Dear Hemingway1:

Maybe the way to go about it is to continue the all-in-the-open approach, sharing what you shared here with your best friend and with his ex, maybe on a conference call with the three of you present for the conversation. Maybe you can present this to the two of them during one call and then come back to the topic on a second call, so they have time to process this individually before responding. Open it up to a conversation…?
