Thanks for the insights Sandi.

On renting MIL's house: I've been renting from her for four years, living in the basement of her house. Granted, it's been in conjuction with her son, but I really don't think it'll cause any problems. Also, for her the house is a money pit since she can't sell it in the condition it's in for more than the mortgage is worth. She's told me she'd rather have me living there and fixing it up than a stranger.

On him seeing an old female friend: He and I are the same in that we have always been able to make closer and better friendships with members of the opposite sex. We've both, over the years, had friendships that we haven't questioned each other on, so at first the red flag didn't wave for me. By the time it hit me that he was spending way more time talking to her than I thought appropriate, any attempts by me to change that were seen as controlling and overly jealous behavior.
