Should I Confront My Brother's Wife? by CountVersailles(f): 6:47am On May 05, 2021 |
Maybe "confront" is the wrong word to use here, but let me explain. My brother and I had been sharing an apartment for a few months before he got married. He recently left to take a separate place with his new wife, who I'm friends with. No issues between us. Since my brother left I have been staying in the old apartment alone and paying the rent all my myself. Now, my brother's wife who is quite sensitive about their finances thinks that my brother is still paying for the apartment. This is because he was the one paying before, since he had been staying there for months before I moved in. Now, I can understand her concerns. The reason she is thinking this is because, 1. I am not working, and she knows. So, she cannot believe I can pay for the apartment which is quite expensive 2. she knows my brother was the only paying before I moved in. She doesn't realize I have taken over the payment since last two months, and has been nagging my brother to stop paying for the apartment even after he insists he is no longer paying. Maybe, she thinks he's lying to him. I hate that this is going on. Maybe it's my ego, but I feel like talking to her directly and telling her that her husband is no longer paying for the apartment. Is this something I should do? 65 Likes 6 Shares |

My piece of Advice.....1.How did you know that she has been nagging about your brother paying the rent..If it's your brother that told you, fine. Then you called everybody together I mean the 3 people involved. Explain to her and show the receipt of the last payment with your name written on it.Then you will save everybody a lot of headache.PEACE. 200 Likes 8 Shares |

I would advise that you give her a wide berth afterwards. She clearly doesn't want good things for you. Does she expect that you should be thrown out and become homeless? 381 Likes 14 Shares |

True character don dey show small small, any flaws you can't show during courtship my brother/sister be careful with that person. 134 Likes 4 Shares |

You owe no one any explanation! Whatever she's thinking should be her business not yours. You're taking care of your bills, if she feels otherwise, that's her business! Don't condescend too low to prove to people who are naturally created to be wicked and self-centered how you run your affairs. I can bet my left ball, the only thing she's contributing to the family is just cooking and sweeping the house, nothing else. Daughters of Eve! 114 Likes 6 Shares |

spinna:It's a serviced apartment, so there's no landlord. Maybe I'll mention I've been talking to the real estate guys. But the problem is that she may not even believe. She may think I'm just trying to convince her otherwise, because after my brother told her that he is no longer paying, she still doesn't believe him. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Don't tell her anything. Just continue to mind your business. Let the thought continue to torment her mind, since she doesn't want to give herself peace by minding her business. 102 Likes 4 Shares |

Don't tell her shiit. Keep giving her the impression that your brother is still paying for the apartment, that way you would be able to know the kind of person she truly is. They show their color after marriage, so she doesn't want your brother to support you. She is willing to see you live without a roof over your head There is nothing bad in your brother supporting you when you are Yet to find your footing. 71 Likes 8 Shares |

This is a very sensitive issue. If you're married, you'll understand why his wife is concerned about finances. Are you 100% sure you paid the last rent? Or you've just only agreed to pay when it's next due? Do not take it up with his wife, cos you don't know the level of influence she has over him. It may cause a rift between you and your brother. Emphatically tell you brother to make it clear to his wife that you're now in charge of the rent. Device a means of "flaunting" or telling her how you're making money despite being jobless and connect it to paying the rent. Shes a woman after all, if you know what I mean, so don't take up arms against her. 13 Likes 4 Shares |

I don't know your Gender but I still maintain you follow the way of Peace... Do not start burning any Bridge at the moment dear OP... It's too early also, put into consideration how you have been relating with your brother before she came... Ignore every side talk, make your bond between you and your brother to be stronger... If she's the type that comes to the family to sow a seed of discord, prove to her that you were classier than that... I wish u a nice multinational company as you continue in search of a job... 13 Likes 2 Shares |

Sometimes I just wonder how a man will allow a woman to bring division in the family. I don't just understand the kind of men we have this days, no guts, no boldness to confront a woman. Imagine living happily with your brother for months or years all of a sudden one useless woman will come and divide the brothers in the name of marriage I don't blame the woman, I only blame that your simp brother, what were they discussing that could warrant such ranting from her. I don't know why I no dey jam such idiot women me wey my head no correct u wan come separate me from my blood brother. No woman born of a woman shall try that nonsense for my side, if u dare try that nonsense na straight to your papa house, I hate nonsense 73 Likes 7 Shares |
