There are certain people that I will not feel comfortable lying to, i.e, our god daughter, her brother, her BFF. How should I handle this situation? Should I just pretend that I did come to care for my father or should I tell them the truth. That I left because we are separated and more than likely getting divorced.

Of course, they are then going to ask why? Do I tell them that she is cheating with a co-worker?

My W would blow a gasket if I told any of these people that she is having an affair.

I would just talk about it like I would talk about things to people at church.

Obviously, we probably ain't gonna lie to the good folks at church but the details also ain't none of their business. Your business is yours, your W's business is hers.

If folks ask how W is doing, you just say "Oh she's fine." I mean, usually people don't really want to get too far into that beyond the simple greeting. Store clerk mentality type stuff.


Save yourself. Nobody is coming!
