Long story short, my father in law recently got engaged to a lady friend from church. I know her through some other people. She seemed nice enough and my wife and I were genuinely happy for my wife's father.
My wife and I recently found out that she was married 6 times previously and she had not disclosed this to my father in law. The last of the 6 marriages ended 20 years ago, and she has been single ever since.
Our mutual friends told her that she needed to come clean with my father in law.. Weeks pass by, and we keep asking these mutual friends when is she planning on having the discussion.
Meanwhile, they are planning the wedding...
My wife hates confrontation, she and I were incredulous about how much time is passed and nothing was happening.
So...yesterday I send her a text message and tell her that she needs to come clean, I told her that she can't start a new marriage off with not being honest with her future spouse and expect to have a lasting marriage. If she didn't come clean I was going to tell my father in law myself.
