[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You told your father-in-law that your wife wouldn’t be paying back a family loan? No wonder he’s pissed.[/quote]

OP here.  She would not be paying it back with marital income. Since she is now back in school and not earning income that means that I would not be making payments on it with my income.[/quote]
did you know she had to pay back the loan before you married her?  If yes, then you took on the loan, too.

FIL sounds annoying but I can understand where he's coming from.  He built his wealth with his blood, sweat and tears.  You and your father inherited your wealth.   In his opinion, you can afford going out with her side of the family and pay for your share.  You helping your family with the wealth you inherited means your parents are subsidizing you and your family.  Doesn't "your family" include her side of the family?

It's a different mindset.

But, yea, as a PP said, stop going out when he invites you.  So what if he gets upset with you?  He's already upset you with about finances.[/quote]
