Well, remember the story about having to pay for the plain ticket of my sister-in-law to go back to the Philippines. My sister-in-law had given her word that her husband was going to pay me back. Well, I talked to her husband after not getting any answer from her ,and the stingy man had the nerve to tell me that he would not pay me a penny. How I wish that I could be in the Philippines ,so I could comfront this ungrateful individual. How can anyone who is rich be
so inconsiderate knowing that I charged this on my credit card? He even told me that in the Philippine culture the smaller brother who is my husband needs to take care of his older sister and pay for everything. I feel so betrayed by my sister-in-law.
You see I'm not filipina and I find this so dishonest.

Hi! Sorry you got the raw end of the deal. I would let him know that this will never happen again, and a few other choice things if i were put in this type of situation. I do hope that you and your spouse had no problems over this. It is a sad thing when something like this causes problems with couples.

This is so unfair, how can someone do that! That kind of people does not have self respect even. If someone has self respect, they would return every penny they borrow from someone. This is so shameful.

Thanks for your response ,and it has been difficult for me to pay this amount to the credit card ,but I'll survive and God will take care of me. You are right since he has no self respect at all ,but I believe in karma and everything bad that you do in this world will be returned to you double ,so I leave it to God.

I'm sorry, I am Filipina, but I have to say that the husband of your sister-in-law is one of a kind. It definitely is not the responsibility of your husband to take care of the financial needs of his older sister. It's the husband's responsibility. The man is lying to you. Your brother may take care of her if she was disabled or something, but as long as her husband is alive, he is totally responsible for every member of his family. He took that responsibility when he married her, in the first place!

Well, I wrote him a letter telling him a few things that he needs to hear. He has a mistress with two kids ,so he was probably trying to get rid of her. I'm also upset at her because she has not ask her husband for the money either. I told my husband that she is no longer welcome in my house even if she is his sister.
