Jeanette,
I've been thinking overnight about this new turn of events in your sitch. I firmly believe my H will eventually do something like this. It's exactly what he did when he got engaged. We (as in me and the kids) found out after 3 months on OUR WEDDING ANNIV. I was away for the weekend. He went to a lot of trouble to have the kids round to his flat supposedly for a BBQ. He knew damn well that D17 would spot the humunagous diamond on OWs hand in a flash. The poor thing played right into his hands. Disappointing thing is MIL was there to 'help him along'. She says she wasn't in on it but I don't believe for one minute that her son would not tell her that he was engaged or even that for 3 months she failed to notice this huge rock on OWs finger. Sadly for H it seems he had tried earlier to get D12 and S15 to notice (but bear in mind this was nearly 2 yrs ago) at a previous point in time but it went over their heads (thankfully for them).

So it's not just their spouses they are out to hurt it's sometimes their kids too.
