Brother

I've just found out that my sister inlaw pays for everything in their household, including my brother's mortgage.
Background is that she put 50% down and my brother took a mortgage after his deposit. Sister in law is now paying HIS mortgage, all bills and doing the housework when she gets home. How the fuck is this fair?

Wrecks...
Checked. No he pays for no bills. Although he pays for "treats". Doesn't help when you're sitting in the dark and cold and can't flush the fucking bog becauae the actual bills haven't been paid

Jack. We all know this is a reverse. Or you trying to be goady. Stop.

"No he pays for no bills. Although he pays for "treats". Doesn't help when you're sitting in the dark and cold and can't flush the fucking bog becauae the actual bills haven't been paid"

Sort it out through courts or mediation.

Their money is separate. Yes they are married. Separate money does happen and should be respected.

And lay off the JD.

Not sure why I'm being accused of being a bloke or this being a reverse thing. Perhaps I shoukd have posted elsewhere but I actually wanted a point of view since they asked

Their situation is that they have chosen to keep separate finances. She has assets from pre marriage. Also pre marriage children that she wants to take care of.

No hiddley. I'm not a man. You clearly have issues though. Good luck with that x

Zzzz... the bit where she pays for everything and my brother keeps his cash

OP posts:
hiddley · 28/10/2017 02:22

'Pre marriage children that she wants to take care of'. There is no woman on the planet who would refer to children that way. Good luck with your mission.

Apparently there are women who would refer in this way. Me being one of them.

He thought he wouldn't have to pay out on divorce. That's what he thought zzzzz

PostcodeJack · 28/10/2017 02:28

Zzzz. The thing is that they agreed to separate finances. But she's bailing out

OP posts:
hiddley · 28/10/2017 02:28

No. Because a mother would be taking care of her children in real time. Not referring to them as 'pre marriage children that I want to take care of'.

hiddley · 28/10/2017 02:29

You should have gotten a pre-nup.

PyongyangKipperbang · 28/10/2017 02:30

zzzz so how would you describe a situation where one spouse pays all bills and the other pays nothing but crucially keeps their money for themselves so the disposable income within this marriage is being kept and spent by non bill payer and not shared equally between them?

PostcodeJack · 28/10/2017 02:30

Again. Can you get that I'm not my sister in law?

PostcodeJack · 28/10/2017 02:33

Thank you Kipper. Kind of what I was trying to get across but not managing
