Tomarrow night could be good or bad
We've been invited over to my best friend's house for New Year's Eve. That would be a good thing except I am nervous about seeing his wife again.
For those of you who missed or forgot my thread, his wife became very jealous of me after I wrote him a nice note. This happened in October and I haven't seen her since a couple weeks before then. Before then, I thought that we were becoming close friends. My friend has gotten a different job so I do not see him as often. Last week, when I saw him, just before he left, I asked about her and how she was doing, where as before I avoided the issue. He said that she was doing well and hadn't mentioned me or related concerns for a while. He said that she had been very upset and jealousy has always been a trait of hers and he regretted that we all got hurt.
He called my husband, who is also his friend, yesterday on his cell phone and invited us over for tomarrow. My husband, of course didn't get details.
I'm assuming that she'll be there too. I don't know how I should approach this. I really want to be her friend again. I've enjoyed the time that I had spent with her and thought that we really related well to one another before this incident happened. I don't know if that is possible or not. I am willing to do anything for her that does not hurt my relationship with my husband on her husband. I don't know if she'll be nice to me, outright mean, or covertly mean. Should I buy her a gift? Should I bring chocolate, cake, or cookies (She loves sweets despite being very thin.)? Should I apologize even though I don't feel that I did anything wrong? If she's nice and doesn't bring it up, should I pretend nothing ever happened? Since my husband is there, I don't think that she'll harm me. I really want everything to be alright and for us all to be friends.
My friend still doesn't have a phone and lives a far enough distance away that it would not be convient for my husband to stop in ahead of time and find out what her attitude towards me is.

1. Boy, I wouldn't even bring it up.
If she's had time to work it out, she'd be embarrassed. If she hasn't, well, nothing you have to say will help.

I wouldn't send your husband in advance, that might be a bit much... but if it were me, I'd leave the cookies at home and bring a bottle of wine (or two). :)

2. I am going to bring good green stuff for sure
I think that it would be best if we were all baked as quickly as possible.
