[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like the[b] breadwinner husband [/b]was going to bailout his brother (with his own hard-earned money), but wanted to loop in the wife. The wife said no, you're not spending "our" money on your brother.

[b]I'd bet wife is a SAHM or makes peanuts,[/b] yet wears the pants in the relationship, otherwise it doesn't make sense. Brother wouldn't approach his brother unless he knew brother had the dough -- and he wouldn't become so unhinged unless he knew the non-working spouse (SIL) subverted the bailout. Brother took it as brother choosing wife over blood.[/quote]

Assumes facts not in evidence.   :roll:

OP has said that his brother has issues with his temper.  He became unhinged because he's an unbalanced person, not because he objects to the income dynamic in his brother's marriage.  I'm sure he does see it as SIL shutting down the gift, since he was able to bilk plenty of money out of his brother when he was single, but that is her right.  It's not "their" money, as you so charmingly imply.  It's their money.[/quote]

Lol to the top PP. What an idiot. Marriage is a partnership. If one spouse works, that generally means the other spouse carries a greater burden at home, with kids, etc. All money is shared. [/quote]
