Is this the end of my marriage?

[P17]

I completely agree with Cutter about it all. In my sitch, my MIL did not reach out to me about the affair; she reached out about her grandson. She was very embarrassed about her son's treatment of us (she told me later) and didn't know what to say.

Maybe you are right. She offered me a hand. Maybe I should offer it back. It can't hurt. I don't like people in out of D's life. W was a different story, D was learning bad lessons from her but W's mum and dad could be a part of her life if they showed some interest.

I think your MIL possibly didn't know what to do in regard to contacting you about your mum. She is possibly trying to stay connected with you and your D separate from your WAW. That is what my inlaws are doing and it's okay with me! Again, I am not angry with them for something their son is doing!

But W's mum could have called me at any point in the last 4 months about D. Or even my mum when I told W that she had only 2 months to live - to give her credit though, W may not have told her mum about my mum's 2 months. I had a gut feeling that W didn't believe me about my mum and maybe she thought I was playing her for sympathy.

Just sign cards w/ your name and D. Not the right time to be manipulative. I like how Cutter is consistently mentioning the same 2 names of women to people so that it can get around that he could be dating! It just seems more believable and classy--not a game! (even though it kind of is!)

I have a name I could use to put around. However it would be D's mum and if W heard that she would likely burst into flames and that would be the end of the M completely So that's a maybe then ...
