I smiled when I read your posts b/c although I didn't put it in mine I did say exactly that to my D17. I asked her if H prodded her for info about how much I earn. She said he didn't and even if she had she couldn't have told him b/c she doesn't know. This then led onto another convo about the grants/loans she will have to apply for when she goes to uni later in the year.
One thing I do know for certain is that this convo with D17 wasn't planned by H b/c it was her that invited him out. However, I'm sure that just like me he is eager for information that he wouldn't normally be party to.
My guard is still well and truely up. I have no illusions left about my H.
