Hi Sally - great idea to have a woman be with you (NOT him, ever) during the presentations just in case you need someone to be there for you. I think you already know that the married man situation is a HUGE RED FLAG. Definitely don't want not even the appearance of any kind of relationship. Any single man or woman could wonder about your character if you appeared to have a close relationship with a married man. No matter how strong a believer someone is, everyone is vulnerable to get snared in the most subtle way into something that seems innocent only to go further than the believer ever wanted to go. Pray for wisdom for a course of action to follow ahead of time to ensure you are not snared in any way.
Thanks StraightAhead. Thanks also about the character issue. I did notice a couple of times in the past when I would speak with him, the other guys in the room really took notice. (Their body language changed.) This was before I realized what was happening - before he got to the whole talk about "problems with his wife." I don't for one minute think that I'm strong enough to not be snared into something that would be wrong. I don't want to misinterpret scripture - but the Bible says "pride goeth before a fall" - and I know that for myself, I cannot trust my flesh in this area - particularly because of where I am now mentally, emotionally, and physically. This is so clearly a trap.
So, I've asked for prayer from my prayer partner - and I'm doing what the bible says concerning this type of temptation - which is to flee from it. I've minimized contact with him so that there is no encouragement on my end. I pray and if I end up in conversation with him, I keep things on the surface and short. I'm also not going to enter into any further conversations with him concerning marriage or his wife - except to compliment her, encourage reconciliation, and suggest that he find a godly man to talk to.

Here is an update.
I've been surrounding myself with other women during the presentation. It worked! He kind of came to stand close to me and was kind of touching my shoulder and I kind of manuevered myself next to another woman. (It was pretty smooth the way it worked out.) I've been pretty distant, but nice and that has also been working. Woo Hoo!
