My wife went with her brother to visit their mom's grave this week. Yesterday my wife told me he asked her all sorts of questions about how much money I make, my sources of income, did I get a Christmas bonus and if so how much and things of that nature. He also asked if my stress was self induced, insinuating I have nothing to be stressed about.
Throughout my marriage to my wife this one particular brother in law has always assumed my wife was a daddy's girl, and relied on her dad to help her and us I guess, maintain our lifestyle. Nothing could be further from the truth, my wife never asks her dad for anything aside from possibly more visits with the grandkids when he's in town. But my brother in law assumes that must be the case since he himself is always in debt and feels there's no way I actually honestly earn more money than he does.
I don't know what his deal is. He questions how we can afford the house we have the children we have the way we live the things we do. How the fuck is this his business? I know damn well I have never asked him his yearly salary but I'm sure he's asked my wife what mine is.
People, men specifically, are insecure fucks. If someone appears to have more than they do, they immediately start to question it, how can it be possible? It can't be. I DESERVE to have more than he does. There HAS to be something fishy going on here. It can't just be honest hard work and living within our means, it HAS to be something else. It's ridiculous. He's been watching too many movies.
I think I'll have one of my crew that runs numbers for me pay him a visit and teach him discretion.
