Ok this is rather confusing. I've just been on the phone to my sister in law. Her OH and my OH are brothers. She's currently homeless with her three kids and OH and staying with her mum until she sorts out a place. She's been looking - reason they were homeless was because the place they were supposed to move into was then given to someone else so she's still looking to rent. Her OH thinks they should go to the council housing place and register as homeless, apparantely they then get a b&b and then eventually a council place. She's stopping at her mum's as she doesn't want to put her kids through that (been there a week) and is looking for suitable accomodation every day. She's doing the leg work, has the funds to secure the place, and is looking for a suitable 'home' for her kids. His attitude is you can go to the council and sort it out, you're making it harder on ppurpose so fu** off - to her! Oh and he's been in an out of prison - twice in the last four months.
Now, HER sister's wedding was today. She obviously didn't want to go as she's too stressed and her priority is the house hunt. She sent the kids with family as she had their clothes ready and wanted them to have a good time. She was ok with him going up until yesterday, when he was out all day and when she asked where he was he said 'what am I going to do at home with the kids'. Then she says 'grow some balls which man goes to his mrs wedding when he can't even get a place'.
He then went and got the pity vote from everyone - prob an excuse - as to why he isn't going. Texting everyone, incl her sister, her mum,... telling them she said he can't go and to be a man.
Now, I've had a row with my OH - I said she was damn right. OH said he'd still go if we were in that situation.
Are we being unreasonable in thinking he's a pathetic fu** up and should not be going to the wedding and putting looking for a house first? If my OH did that I'd finish with him.
