London: Dear Carolyn,
My former future mother-in-law (the engagement didn't work out) has been keeping in contact with me through email. She's a nice lady and I wanted to maintain a friendship with her. She has been asking about the dissolution of our engagement, why it happened, etc. The truth is that her son cheated on me multiple times with the same woman--who claims to have been pregnant by him at one point--and lied about it until I confronted him with undeniable proof. It is clear that he has told his mother a different story and made it seem like I was too rigid or something. It's fine if his mom doesn't know all the details, but it doesn't seem fair that she should think I'm the bad guy or that my ex expects me to support his lie by omitting the truth. Since she's asking me directly, am I allowed to tell her what really happened?

Only if she wants to risk losing her relationship with the would-be MIL

normally, I'd think talking about relationship stuff with a guy's mom is weird; but...

The mother obviously doesn't even trust the story her son is telling her, so is going to this girl. She's under no obligation not to tell the truth.

take the high road and keep it to yourself - it may start a battle of stories and she will come out on the losing side
