Is It Really Okay? by Blissquare(f): 10:59am On Apr 13, 2017
I witnessed something that seemed wrong to me but the person involved didn't mind. Is it normal for in-laws to ask for money from their wife? They said their son is too stingy and have given up so when they need money, they come to the wife. The MIL wld ask her DIL to help her complete Ajor money, the brother in law wld ask for JAMB form money, the Step dad would ask for transport money. Just for me to hear the wife abroad has also been asked for hospital bill money. Poverty can make people do things but who buys the idea that this is closeness?

Only you seeing all these relationship issues. You really must be an emotional person.

It is not right. It is not closeness. It is extortion.

From my point as a woman married twice. We are all diff. It is easy to say u wld not let marriage define u. Sometimes, we settle for less not because we want to but we have to. No matter how u front it, it is always ackward to not be married at a certain age. U may not mind but ur mom's happiness may be at stake. U worked hard all ur life, had good grades and got a good job. Why wld u be lonely? Even bad people are getting married. When u are happy alone, people wld still believe u cry urself to sleep. If u opt for kids without marriage, it is also ackward. It is frustrating both ways so I picked d one that makes me comfortable. Good men are few and that is a reality! My current husband is with me for material gains but at least I hav it to share with him. People are envying me that I got a 2nd chance and he adores me as long as d money is there.
I daresay you are the person involved, and if that's the case, I don't know why you're asking us if it's okay.

I'm still trying to wrap my head about what she meant by that post. I don't think it's healthy.
