We had agreed to a limited number of people at church that we would tell about our separation. This person was not on the list, and I have NO idea how he would have approached renting apartment from him without saying something about the separation.
I was going to say let it go... .until I saw this.
So... .if there is a list, it should be followed.
However, for renting an apartment, you need to cut him some slack. He can rent one without explaining.
Is the hubby that was told about the divorce on the list?
This would be another place where written structure would be good. A list of people that marriage can be discussed with, or perhaps limit that to professionals that are helping.
If there was a list created... .and you believe he has gone off the list, ask him to clarify. Go from there.
