**** Since her reasons for needing him are becoming increasingly far-fetched (she think she has a brain tumor and her house was robbed but there is no police report, etc), I asked that my husband stop staying with her. Her "lover" (common law husband) is out of town and it would be the two of them alone all weekend.****

something I learned from my collapsed marriage.......do not underestimate a man's need to take care of the vulnerable.

Ask him what you should do in an emergency when he's away. And simply tell him that you are not happy when he leaves you like that.

If that doesn't work, hmmmm, but one thing is certain, I would do whatever I could to get this woman out of YOUR (plural) life.
