[quote=Anonymous]my FIL sends an email the other day saying he's retiring from his job and that he was pursuing other things. I was surprised (he's not the type to sit around at home) but called him later that day to congratulate him. He was caught off guard and asked me why I was congratulating him. I said well for your retirement! We talked a bit and then I talked to MIL to congratulate her too.

Later I was using DH's ipad and he must not have logged out of his email account. I saw an email from FIL to him saying that DH shouldn't tell me FIL got layed off because it "didn't sound good." normally, I'm fine with people trying to save face/pride but this really rubbed me the wrong way. Not only did it make me feel like an idiot for calling him to say congrats but they actively asked DH to lie to me. They know DH and I have a rocky marriage and I often don't feel part of his family. BIL got layed off a few years ago and again, I was purposely left out of the loop.

I know at least one of my SIL's knows FIL got layed off. So its not like they are just telling their sons and not the DILs.

I don't know. The more I think about it, the more pissed I get. Don't tell me you treat me like a daughter but then ask my husband to lie to me.

Am I over reacting? in the end, it doesn't really matter if he got layed off or retired. But I think its shitty to lie to me.  Thoughts[/quote]
