I am in a tough moral situation and I don’t know what to do. My older sister and brother-in-law have been fighting about money for the past year or so. He is a big spender, not just for himself, but for the whole family, friends, and community.
After this crazy situation, my sister laid down some new rules to try to keep her marriage and finances together. She recently told me that things were going OK. She was keyed into all of the spending with access to online accounts and better visibility to credit-card spending and accounts. She thought that there was still room for improvement, but the marriage and spending were doing better and she felt like the lying was in control.
If he wasn’t getting himself and his family into debt, he would likely find food, alcohol or other substances, sex, or some other form of escape. Unless your sister and her family see this for what it is, it will continue, with or without this credit card. But he needs to want to get help himself. This problem is far bigger than one credit card. If you broke your promise to your niece and told your sister, he would likely find another way of satisfying his addiction.
How does the balance get paid?
Penthouse letters guy decided to write for marketwatch...🙄😂
No but tell him privately that he’s an a-hole.
Yes you should tell your sister abt her husband’s attitude, be loyal to your sister. That’s more important than covering bad behavior.
In a hot second, yes. She could be responsible for his debt.
