She realizes that her brother-in-law isn’t entirely to blame, as she knows her sister can be “abrasive” and has no patience for him anymore. Either way, there is no loving environment in her sister’s home, and she thinks it’s safe to say that their marriage is practically over.
That’s why she had no interest in helping out her brother-in-law when he recently texted her and asked what he should do for his wedding anniversary. According to her, he has done this exact same thing before.
“And when I tell him what to do, he ends up either not doing it or doing nothing,” she said.
Still, she proceeded to tell her brother-in-law exactly where to bring her sister for dinner, where to eat dessert, and what gift to buy. The only difference is that this year, she doesn’t want to let her brother-in-law take credit for the amazing date she planned.
“I don’t want to help him save his marriage because I hate him, and I don’t like his relationship with my sister,” she reasoned.
So, while her brother-in-law thinks that he’s going to get credit for putting together a great anniversary celebration, she actually wants to tell her sister that she was responsible for the whole thing.
After all, she doesn’t want her sister to believe that he did it all on his own when he never does anything for her. On the other hand, though, she knows that might be a jerky move.
“Because at least he’s asking, and he’s trying in some fashion, and if my sister wants to be in a better place (I don’t know if she does, but maybe), then I should let it happen,” she vented.
This has left her wondering whether she should help her brother-in-law and keep her mouth shut or spill the beans to her sister.
Can you understand why she’s sick of her brother-in-law? Is it best to spoil the truth about the date or let her sister just enjoy it?
