Well, MLCer’s lie. It is the rule of thumb around here. They lie. My H even lies about if he ate or not. Why? Does that really matter to me, other than whether I put food away or leave it out? No. But they still lie away…. That is one of the things that you can expect while you are having no expectations LOL.
So why do you suppose they DO lie about everything? I know my H is still lying or at least "fudging" the truth about stupid things too and I can't figure out the purpose. I can understand lies to cover an OP but the other stupid stuff? A control thing? A teenage mentality thing?
And this coming from the man who a couple of years ago told my S he would take his CD player away for life! if he caught him lying again.
B - sorry about the financial mess. I hear you. I am needing to have some kind of discussion with my H soon (now that he is actually a bit more rational these days) about finances and it is tough. He is the main bread winner but I have controlled the money for the past few years so it is kind of tricky. Wish I had advice, but I would expect anger from her. Just detach as much as you can from it until she calms down.
