I think these are the pertinent parts of your post - and I think you know it.
Ask yourself - are you responding more to the mortgage question, or to the walk with w3?
Also next time he brings up the mortgage question - what would happen if you said something like "oh, dear, is your business really failing that badly?"
I guess either he'll puff up with "oh, no, I can afford it, I'm getting plenty of work" - and maybe decide to pay it rather than lose face - or, he'll confess how terrible his money problems are.
Now - here's a thought - why not tell H that you ARE going out of town for the Easter break, and since he can't arrange a ride up for D, he needs to come down and stay with her at the house because you will be GONE. I know - you don't like the idea of him staying there - BUT - staying there while you are out having a great time with friends - and leaving some clues about a "mystery man" around the house - might piques his interest AND get him away from w3.
