[quote=Anonymous]I guess I'm going to disagree with most of the previous posters, especially those in the first two pages.

I don't think your husband was obligated to tell you the truth about his father unless it had some practical ramifications for your lives.  (i.e. the layoff might require the two of you to help your in-laws financially, etc.)  The situation doesn't involve you, and your FIL is entitled to his privacy.  When people confide in me or ask me to keep some information to myself, I do, unless there is a need for someone else/my spouse to know.  In this situation, try to squelch whatever feelings you have of being left out or whatever and muster some compassion for a middle aged guy who just lost his job.

I totally get why you feel concern about the relationship among yourself/DH/in-laws and why this situation triggered your negative response.  But address the underlying problem within situations where DH and/or his parents have behaved improperly.  It sounds like there are plenty of those, and your concerns will seem more valid if they're raised then.[/quote]
