kml, oh my goodness, your ex is really something! Of course you believed and trusted him then, you were married, but perhaps your gut knew something? I tend to think our instincts are always right, we just don't want to listen. We don't want to believe. It's too painful. So we spend time convincing ourselves otherwise.

This behavior reminds me of my H's XOW who is my X-"friend." When I think back to her behaviors over the years--constant flirting with married men, overly seductiveness and attention seeking, inappropriate sexual jokes (even around our children)--there were so many red flags! Our group of friends dismissed a lot of it because "that's just how she is." Now I can see that yes, that really is how she is, because she was going after my H behind my back too! This is what I call HIDING IN PLAIN SITE. Now when I see shady behavior, I accept it for what it is. No more shady (trashy) friends for me :-)

Anyhow, sorry for the hijack, 25. How did everything go today!?! Please update soon! I was also wondering what happened with your inlaws and D19s college tuition.

Hope all goes well today!
