ok, then how is she un-related to you?
She's my wife's brother's wife.
Does he know she's going out and screwing other guys? Because dropping that bomb would have been a lot better than the beer goggles comment.
yes, clarification please
Yes he does. Here's the ugly situation:
-He got her knocked up at 18, then again at 19
-They lived lived in poverty for about 10 years after that
-They had a violent relationship the whole time- mostly her going after him, then threatening if he touched her her redneck brothers will mess him up (and they would- they have a pickup truck AND shotguns)
-They split up for 3 months, during which time he knocked up another girl
-They got back together and are raising the 3rd child (the mother ditched him)
-She goes out every weekend and gets trashed (she's now in her mid-30's). He can't care less, but he can't leave her until the kids are all 18 as she'll ream him with child support.
It's a Jerry Springer situation and my brother in law isn't a bad guy at all- he's just been beaten down his whole life and he's not smart enough to know how to handle it (and I don't mean "makes bad choices smart", I mean IQ of a stick of butter smart).
That's that. I'll be home in 90 minutes.
