[quote=Anonymous]Relationships are a two-way interaction. If your BIL cannot support you when you need help, then your family shouldn't be there when he wants a place to hangout. I am also a military spouse whose DH had deployed for a year your in Iraq. I was working full time, and it was the hardest year of my life. Emit is really difficult to constantly be on- you have virtually no downtime. You come home from work and start your second job at home. I didn't feel it was appropriate to unload my stress on DH, because he had enough to deal with as he had the stress of being at war. It is very isolating and overwhelming. This is the one time when your family really needed him, and BIL couldn't be bothered. I think I wouldn't be bothered to have him in my home, his ass on my couch, eating my food. [/quote]
