This is a long story, but I will try to make it as short as possible...When my AH was in rehab I let my Mom borrow $730.00 to fix her car and she said she would pay us back as soon as she could. It was a matter of convenience really, she was in the city (they live in a rural area) and needed to pay the auto shop and didn't want to drive 45 minutes away to her credit union to get the money out so I decided to help her out. I told my AH about it and he wasn't mad at all. He said that my parents have done a lot for us so why shouldn't we help them?
Well, yesterday I got paid and took some money out of our savings account to cover our bills and he blew up at me about letting my mom borrow $730.00. He was SOOOO mad about it. He says he wants the money back because we are "broke" (we still have money in our savings and checking and all of or bills are paid). Not to mention, my parents just gave us $2,300.00 in 2007 to get out if an apartment lease when he was in rehab the first time. They also paid for our $20,000.00 wedding, have bought us countless furniture items, gave my AH a car to drive, paid for most of my college education etc. So, it is not like they owe us the money it is like we owe THEM.
He was bitching so much last night that I finally called my parents and my Dad offered to pay off our mortgage so that we could be a little more comfortable and we could just make payments to him interest free. But, guess what? My AH is STILL NOT HAPPY! He said, "whatever, I don't want the money back now.. and I don't want them to pay off the mortgage."
Am I wrong here??? Did I make the wrong decision by letting my mom borrow the money? Why do you think he is so angry about it??
(I do also want to mention that my AH has been laid off from work for almost a month and they do not see him returning to work until May, so not as much money is coming in as before
)
