Yes, he did tell me that. However, he cannot see that he is still doing it. I have been seeing it, the counselor spotted it immediately as he talked, but my H only thinks that he's saying things that make it appear that way.
Believe me, the last thing I want to do is shut his family out of OUR lives (we do have a life together now). I just would like my H to be able to simply tell them when we do already have plans; I'm not asking him to lie about having plans.
