Sorry about the possible date. If I have learned anything from my experiences, it is that our Hs will hide anything they think is going to be disapproved of and that you should trust your gut. I also found that my STBXH would volunteer information when he was doing something I wouldn’t be upset about. i.e. “I am going to Vancouver to rehearse with my band” but leave out that his gf is going with him. But you are right...it isn’t necessarily a woman. It’s tough, I know FS, but you are handling it like a champ as per usual. The vacation plans sound fantastic!! My sister has been campaigning for me to go to Croatia for awhile now. I will likely visit there at some point over the next few years. You’ll have to let us know how it is. My sister loves it there...relaxed atmosphere, friendly people, low cost. Hope your FIL feels better soon. (((HUGS)))
