Karen, I agree with you about my daughter should not have to lie. He should not call her. If he can't get me on the house phone...then simply leave a message.
I'm sure it's killing him because I did not give him my new cell number! He actually even called his cousin and told him that I got a new cell number. While they were on the phone the cousin asked his wife if she knew I had a new cell and did she have the number. She simply replied, "Sure do" and walked out of the room. LOL
STBXH even asked me right after I got the new number if our DD's knew the number. I wanted to say "Duh" but told him of course they did. I should have said, "No, no one knows it but my 'BF' ". I guess when he asked if the girls had the number it was his way of hinting for me to give it to him, but I did not!
