After seeing suggestions such as 'get a divorce' or 'kick them both out'. I am really looking forward to part 2 of the story.
Pedants rejoice.. https://ell.stackexchange.com/quest...her-in-law-when-a-possessive-case-is-involved So the plural of "brother-in-law" (at least in the standard language) is "brothers-in-law", since the plural goes on the bare noun. The possessive cannot be *brother's-in-law; it has to be "brother-in-law's", and that is what native speakers say ("We went to my brother-in-law's house")
Well, er, um...........<thinks furiously>.................. but wait! How do you know I didn't use an invisible hyphen? Ah ha! Got you there!
No need for picking up boxes. The guy never took his household items out of the shipping boxes that the movers supplied during his move. As far as his clothing I can get rid of that in under 15 minutes tops. A couple large lawn trash bags will take care of that stuff. I’ll even help him pack I’m very serious if the guy plans on pulling some BS. I will throw him out. Then I will make a call to a local charity and donate all his stuff. So far it has been day four of him giving me the silent treatment. That does not bother me. I actually like it that way. I’m very tempted to razz the guy. Just to find out what he may do. That would not be the best thing to do I would just add insult to injury. Which I am more than capable of doing.
I'm sorry to make light on a serious situation. After reading about your bad situation, I can't help but think about the TV show Frasier. The episodes where Daphne's brother Simon came to town. He was such a rude jerk to everyone.
In the vows “for better or worse”, this is the worse so it has to get better. Unless the wife has another deadbeat brother.
Your BIL might as well be my brother and it made me sad to read your story...unfortunately, we don't get to choose our family. My brother and I had a few close calls. We haven't spoken to each other in years and it's better like this. Your wife should ponder what this is doing to your relationship. Love between you and your BIL can't be forced. Good luck and I hope everything turns out OK.
To kick him out, you may need to follow proper eviction procedures even if he has lived there rent-free. Don't b know your local laws. Get a lawyer. Get a divorce. Get him out. Move on. Your wife doesn't respect you.
Now now. Let us not be hasty here. I think we need pictures of the wife to fully decide on divorce or not.
Research purposes. Seriously though, his Wife DOES respect him, enough to come to a 30 day eviction agreement. Divorce should only be a last resort, it breaks up families and causes issues for those involved. Not to mention what it would do to the Children, if there are any Children. My opinion is to see what happens every 5-10 days progress wise. The Wife and her Sister seem to have this under control for now. Better to not interfere in this timeframe unless there's nothing actually being done since the BIL will see this as a betrayal from his Sisters and thus become less co-operative.
