Old thread: http://www.divorcebusting.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2641436&page=1

So D and I are moving at the end of the month. Ex is out of the country for work till March, so his mother is coming to help me pack and move etc. She is very sweet and sympathetic to me, but blood is thicker than water and she is of course his mother after all.
I'm planning on being nice and upbeat, but I'm unsure of how to handle the issue of OW. She knows that her son is in love with someone else, but I doubt he has told his parents that they're are making a go for it. Should I spill the beans or pretend I don't know? I guess she wouldn't ask me anyways. Gonna be a looooong week.

Also, do I just pretend to be happy and on board with the D and me eventually moving overseas again?
She knows I was beyond devastated, I spoke to her a lot in the beginning.

That he's the one leaving me, that he is in love with someone else etc. But I don't think he's told them about being with OW yet.

I really don't know what to tell you Gmum. I guess some people would say leave it, and others would really go for telling everything. I'm more of the second kind, but it's because I'm upfront. Listen to your little voice, what it is telling you?

I don't want to cover for him, but I guess I won't say anything unless prompted.

Thanks, Rouky.

I would tell her the truth. You have nothing to hide. I wouldn't complain about H, but you shouldn't act like you are over him or happy about this.

I think you should DB her. Whatever you say and do will get back to him.

Hi gmum, if she asks, then be honest. Or if you're feeling brave, you could ask her what she knows about the reason about the divorce. But I feel that your mil would have put 2 and 2 together, even if H didn't tell her the whole truth.

You could thank her though for the love and help she's given you. She sounds like a lovely lady and I am sure she does feel bad about your situation.


You can call me Dory/ Grl.

It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
