Her brother-in-law found it difficult to keep a steady job, often moved from home-to-home within the family and was released from his most recent job due to a ‘bad attitude’ (whatever that means).
Then she added that her husband has always put money aside from the household income to give to his brother (and other family members), and she has always disliked that.
So my friend – fed up with this ongoing helping hand that her husband has given to his family during the six years that they’ve been married - gave her husband an ultimatum. She told him that she was filing for divorce if he allowed his brother to move in with them.
Whoa!
Is she wrong for this ultimatum or is her husband wrong to ever let it get to this point? How much financial help should we offer family members outside of our primary home?
