Yes, you should have left years ago, so stop wasting time and do it now.

you should have left years ago, over this one issue?

how do you know MIL lied, i never know if my sons are in or out and thats the truth - i have often assumed that are in when they arent.

I don't see why your MIL lying 13 years ago is still bothering you. But I would be very, very bothered by DH holding all the financial cards. You need to change that situation is it makes you very vulnerable, as I'm sure you realise. Get a bank account in your name, and start to put money in it. And make sure the house is in your name too.

Or leave.

You say he's been seeing another woman. How long did he see her for? Is he still seeing her?

I can understand you being so upset. Do you think he told his mother to say he'd spent the night there, or do you think she just knew what he was like and was covering for him? Neither inspire any confidence in him.

Your problem isn't your MIL, it's him. He's cheated on you before, lied to you and has financial control over you. Take steps to leave (or get him to leave). You aren't happy. How much longer will you live like this?
