LOL guys, I just copied and pasted Puppy's post to my MIL so she knows to expect him to be doing damage control and contacting her, and she was on the line as I was composing the email to her. H emailed her saying that he wished that he had been able to talk to her before I did, it's probably too late now, but she hasn't heard his side of it. Plus, he said that *I* don't even know all of it. So that makes it OK? That he's hidden his "reasons" for why he's been like this from his own W?
Anyway, I advised her to keep the hard line. The answer to everything is going to be to ask him when he's going to be ready to work on the M. She's writing him back to say he can always talk to her, but what she knows from me is that I want to work on the M and she and FIL fully support that. She's willing to stay strong during this and I let her know he'll be lying, begging, and acting like a hurt little puppy - and not to fall for it. It's immaturity and his trying to get her on his "side."
