So I've been married for about 3 months I'm a newlywed and I'm sick of supporting my new brother in law.
I moved in a year and a half ago and have been helping to support him since. He had a job last year and paid rent for a little while but when he fell in love with this woman online ( who subsequently does not have feelings for him) he decided her bills were more important than his and ours. My husband put his brothers name on the house loan when he bought the house to help his credit. Last year my brother in law bought that woman a $25,000 car. She didn't have a job to pay for the car and he couldn't pay for it, so when we learned they could put a lean on our home if she ran with the car, we had his name removed from the loan. He also made it perfectly clear that we meant nothing to him and he wouldn't lose this girl.... Who didn't want anything to do with him.
He started making rent payments so we didn't kick him out of the house... He has lost his job in january and has since been sitting at home watching t.v and eating our food.
In addition to this, he doesn't clean up after himself. When he drinks (we have one rule in the house for him: no alcohol, which he breaks occasionally) he gets angry and acts violent. He doesn't help with anything and on top of that our other roommate who is a dear friend and great roomie, is looking for a new place to live because my brother in law is mean to him.
This isn't a 21 year old kid, this is a 40 year old man who is capable of holding a job.
We have given him until the end of this month to find a job or he has to move out, we've offered him a plane ticket to his home in Michigan (we live in Cali) and he refuses, he says he would rather be homeless.
I know my husband won't let him be Homeless and I'd rather not see him homeless. (he is my brother in law after all) but I'm at my wits end.
I hate seeing how he stresses my husband out and I hate that he is taking advantage of us. I told my husband If he wasn't out by January 2013 i will be spending some time at my parents. We just got married and i love my husband to death, but I can't take it anymore.
I want to move on with our lives and start a family.
I just don't know what to do anymore. Help!
