Protection: The big LIE

[MarieC]

I made sure my husband couldn't pretend he'd just met the skank he left me for by telling his family (he'd dropped all of his friends but his new drinking buddies) and his coworkers that he was cheating on me with her. Luckily, she has no education and can't speak English and looks like "the low rent version" of me, according to male friends, so it will be hard to pass off his tramp as someone new. I think that it's disgusting, though, that no one in his family stood up for our marriage. They just "want [my husband] to be happy" - and so easily wrote me off. I have a suspicion that my father-in-law, though, may rebel against the mother's dictum that whatever my h wants is ok. He is a minister and I am sure that he will not be able to hold his tongue over the long run about what my h has done to me - or what kind of woman he is now with. I just wish I could be there to hear it when it happens.
