So today's questions is NWR. Is there anyone in you FH's family that gets under your skin and annoy you every once in a while.

For my it is my FBIL. A week and a half after we got engaged we found out that he has a drug addiction and drinking problem. Which was part of the reason he would say things to me that shouldn't have been said and it took him 2 years to apologize for saying them. But any way. He almost lost his house that we are living in in PA til we buy a house right after the wedding, FH had no car for three months bc the insurance was never paid by FBIL even though FH was giving him the money, all the bills were late god knows how many months. So FFIL, FH and I along with FSMIL paid off what we could. FH and I were going to buy the house at the short sale but the drug consular said we should make him earn everything back..

Well slowly but surely he is paying everything back, mostly bc his paychecks go to FFIL and he is paying off the bills and only gives FBIL a certain amount of money allowance a week.

So my reason for today's question is FBIL just got his first gf in his life last month. They spend pretty much every moment they can together and to top it off they work together. FH is getting really upset bc this bc his brother is his best friend. They have been threw a lot together and has he says spent 15 years sharing the same bedroom. When we started dating I would give up the very limited time I would see FH and/or talk to him so that they could spend time together. FBIL doesn't seem to care about any of it. All he seems to do is think about himself most of the time. And that is why he gets under my skin.

I won't point out one person from either side, but what annoys me is when everyone thinks they know what's best and is trying to take over. Or the opposite extreme, where no one is interested because it's 'so far away'

Luckily it takes a lot to get under my skin so there really is no particular person on either side that really annoys me. I totally understand how you are feeling with FBIL. I have a friend who is like that.. The second she gets in a relationship we know we won't see her (at least not without him) for a good six months. Hopefully after some time your FBIL will remember there are other people who want to hang out with him.. Only time will tell!
