How do you handle sharing your lifestyle with people who aren't exactly friends but who you interact with often and who might figure it out on their own?
Our situation - DH and I are married and his ex wife/girlfriend lives with us. DH's brother also lives with us and he and I are dating. My kids are in little league and DH and BIL were asked to coach this year. We will all be at games together and though we are not all over each other, there is definitely a weird vibe that some other parents have picked up on.
DH is wondering if he should chat with the head coach over coffee and tell him about our family to make sure this won't be an issue. If it will be, he and his brother will drop out of coaching and just let our kids play on the team. If it won't be, then at least it will be in the open and the kids can play and DH and BIL can coach.
Has anyone had a similar situation? I'm not too keen on sharing but I don't want someone to see DH and his gf out in town sometime holding hands and start to wonder about things halfway through the season and then everything gets awkward.
