«Thanks to your parents for buying us this apartment! But we’ll give it to my sister, and save up for a new one!» declared the husband during the housewarming…

«Who’s going to save?» Emily’s mom couldn’t hold back. «You, Alex! We’ve heard this before, but seen something else. You can only save for cobwebs.»

Here the mother-in-law jumped up and started defending her son. Alex is hardworking, no need to doubt his abilities, and he earns well. Then the father-in-law joined in…

Said that the son-in-law earns for another family, and they just string their daughter along. Emily agreed with that. She was tired of paying for everything herself.

Alex had taken his sister on full support, and to his wife he just tells fairy tales that someday later everything will be good for them. And they all started rolling barrels at each other. Who owes what to whom.

They recalled all the grievances. Who was invited more often, who got better gifts. They brought up all the bad from the past.

They argued so loud, probably even the neighbors heard. In the end, the father-in-law yelled at the son-in-law to pack his things and get out of their apartment. «And take your family with you!» he pushed his mother and sister toward the exit.

Emily was in solidarity with her dad. Said that her husband better live with his sister. That way he can help her more.

She needs it. And Emily doesn’t need help. She’ll manage herself.

Good thing they had every reason to evict this brazen trio. The wife’s parents wisely put the apartment in their name, so the son-in-law couldn’t claim it. They saw that Alex was unreliable.

Emily didn’t drag it out and filed for divorce. And decided for now to get a dog. That’s more reliable.
