If your meeting may be confrontational
Then have the new wife stay in the car. DON'T invite her in. She will, of course, take her "pure as the driven snow" new hubby's side. You've, more than likely, been demonized. Best yet, is to have a male friend with you to defend you when things get ugly.
Sorry to bring this all up, but this type of issue can get pretty ugly, pretty quick and you need to remember that.
And I'll second the meatloaf suggestion. :-)
ot: where abouts in MN is your friend?
A good friend will come and bail you out of jail ... but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...that was fun!"

I thought about having a male friend come over
But thought that might escalate things more. Ex would probably view that as me throwing my love life (what love life?) in his face and he would take it as an affront. That's how he sees things. I'm not looking forward to battling with them alone, though. I have a couple of neighbors on alert- they will help out if needed.
I like the meatloaf recipe, too, but am not going to waste a perfectly good can of alpo on them. Little Sadie has to eat, too!
Friends in MN are in Rochester- docs at the Mayo clinic. I have another friend in Eagan. They are trying to convince me to relocate out there. We'll see.

OT: add me to the arm twisting crowd
Live in St. Paul, work in Eagan. Would gladly welcome you to the tundra.

If he brings wife, you're entitled to have male friend there

Nothing to do with that.
Yes, you should have support. No, it should not be a male VS fame thing. A coupe of well armed women within shouting distance would probably be a good thing.

a couple of female cowboys would do nicely

Advice from a mediator/friend
I have a friend who has been a mediator. She suggested meeting on neutral territory, as that levels the playing field. With other people present or nearby, violence is less likely to break out. If it does, all the cellphones will be dialing 9-1-1.
Hope this helps.
Wishing you peace, Amy
