Plus: I think my mother-in-law needs to suffer the consequences of her gambling.
My husband and I have been happily married for 28 years. We rarely have a problem we can’t settle, but I’m stymied over this one.Over the past year, she has been asking us for “loans” of $300 to $500 to cover her gambling losses. More than once, she has told us for weeks on end not to cash the check she gave us to repay us. We were late paying our insurance bill because she has yet to repay us.
I tell my husband that we are not a loan institution for his family. I feel he is enabling his mother by lending her money. I think she needs to suffer the consequences of her behavior. I’m willing to pay a bill for her, but giving her an open-ended loan is not, in my opinion, the right thing to do. If you continue down the path your husband has put you both on, it will eventually damage your credit score and possibly your marriage.
