To be fobbed off with a dairylea triangle

We have been on holiday this week. DH is chatting to the B and B owner who knows us as we are regulars. The owner asks DH how he is replies that he is doing much better as he has come into some money from an inheritance. This is news to me.
Later on I ask DH about it. He tells me a relative died and left him £70000. He also tells me he has partitially cleared a debt with it. I knew he had a debt but no idea of the magnitude. I just felt stunned.
I went out today and then DH texts that a close friend and neighbour has died. I am driving home to be with our friends. I have just arrived home and rung to say I am home safely. DH says he is sorry I am having a difficult time getting to grips with his financial news and the bereavement and to cheer me up he has brought me some diarylea triangle!
I love my husband but I am beyond words.

I can't think of ANY practical advice to offer except that you both need to know the full extent of the debts and any guarantees. But that can wait for now. You need to grieve your friend just now. Flowers

On the plus side, I now know how to tell DH something huge I've known about for weeks. Off to buy a triple pack of Kinder eggs.Wink
