I'm in California (US) so I'm about 8 hrs behind you.
A 2x4 is a board that is used (not actually) to hit somebody with when they say something stupid. What I said to my H was I didn't care if he had A(s) if he stayed in the house to help me raise our D's through High School. He had to be discreet and definately keep it from them (and me if possible). I TOLD you it was stupid. It's never come up again. Do I know what he's up to? Nope. Do I ask? No. Do I think he's doing this, I don't know. I do know he's interacting with our D's and supporting his family. If I could take those words back would I? Yes. I am worth more than that and deserve better. I know that somewhere in his head he knows it too.
