ps - maybe the wording of how he lied will help.

He sent me an email this wkend, and he said that he was holding up pretty good and that he hadn't been upset around the girls; they don't need to see him hurting.

My daughter told me that he cried in front of them and was pretty sad.

Why lie about that?

If he's sad, there's no reason to hide it. He knows that I am devestated by this. I'm not acting uppity about it; I'm being honest about what infidelity did to our marriage.

I don't have a black and white view of the world. You get gross food at a restaurant and tell the waitress you liked it. We all do a little lying.

But when it comes to our kids, it's like this type of lying is just undermining the co-parenting situation we will plan. It seems like a slippery slope.
