T lives fairly close to his office (which is 15 minutes from me, but it's an area we tend to go out in), I think, and I recently mentioned a restaurant H and I go to regularly. He was like, "Oh yeah, that's a pretty good place," and I was kind of like, "Uh-oh, am I going to run into him there?" At least MC and ex-T live relatively far away...though recently we mentioned a different restaurant to MC that's near us, and he also said, "I've been there, it's quite good," I had another "oh no" feeling, except we don't go there that often.
MC used to live in the area (before we started seeing him), and he said he used to be at the mall with his daughter when he'd run into a client. If the client talked to him first, he'd introduce him/her to his daughter, saying they were a friend. Eventually, his daughter caught on and would say, "are they a friend or 'a friend'" (meaning a client). I'm not sure how I would have dealt with running into him and his daughter at the mall, so glad they live further away now (well, and his daughter is off at college). And based on MC's wardrobe, he may not have been in a mall since he lived in the area...
