He asks me all the time if I have a boyfriend or If I have someone. I always tell him no of course not!
I don't know if he would care if I did.
Because then he would be off the hook - you would be just as guilty as him. That's all. He wants you to be on even ground.
Well, he also wants to keep you for himself as plan B.
That's why you got to disregard what his thoughts and intentions are, because he's not rational. Just act with dignity and integrity and honor regardless what he comes up with.
I would answer welfare questions about the kids. Medications, etc. Otherwise, don't answer. If he complains, I'd say, 'You're a smart guy, you know CPR, you'll figure it out.'
And tell your mother you need her to support you right now, not focus on her own feelings and opinions.
