Well, well, well...looks like your h is the one dragging his feet on this matter. I had a feeling he was throwing a monkey wrench into the mix. They will promise you the moon and say anything and everything, but when it comes down to the bottom line, especially if there is money involved, they will do everything to ensure that they don't lose the money. I do not think he was ever planning to tell you about this. He was hoping that things could continue as they are and you would not find out. Let's be honest...he thought he had you fooled and you wouldn't call the attorney. He just knew you bought everything that passed over his lips. Boy, he's going to be very surprised when he discovers you made the call.
I'm very glad you spoke to the attorney, now you know that when his lips are moving...he's lying. I wouldn't believe anything that comes out of his mouth.
So, what is your next move? How do you plan to handle this new info? Are you going to play it cool and see just how much he lies when you ask him if he's heard from the attorney?
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
