My father-in-law is looking for a house to buy because he is planning on leaving his current wife. The catch is that he doesn't want anyone to know besides my husband and me. He is telling his wife he is helping my husband and me to find a house. This is the same story he is telling his ex-wife (my mother-in-law). I don't like the lie because now my mother-in-law thinks my husband and I are looking for a place near her. (My father-in-law is looking for a house about fifty miles from here where is he originally from and where she lives). I refuse to go there to visit her because I am not going to pretend I am wanting to move there. I am not going over to his home either because I am not going to lie to his wife. I don't like being in this situation. I wish my husband hadn't agreed to go along with this. He said he is just helping his father. If my father-in-law wants out of his marriage, he should just get out. For crying out loud, he is 71 years old. This is his third marriage.

That is a horrid situation to be in. I can't lie to save myself so I'd have to just stay away too.. and I don't think I could lie, doesn't seem fair.

Up-date on the situation. My father-in-law is leaving his wife. The situation just got to be too much. It is too complicated to explain. He is moving his travel trailer into a trailer park. The trailer is only about two years old and super nice. I wouldn't mind living in it. LOL. It expands out. It will do for one person. I am glad the lying is over.
