Her Father-In-Law Humiliated Her For Being $80,000 In Student Loan Debt At Her Birthday Dinner, So She Walked Out
When you’re house-poor, it means you literally spent all of your money on your house. This 29-year-old woman and her 31-year-old husband are the definition of that, and they are first-time homeowners.
Her in-laws gave her and her husband a bit of money to apply to the down payment, and they were so appreciative for the help.
But that gift came with strings attached, as her father-in-law brings up the fact that they gave them cash to afford their house nonstop.
Yesterday evening, she had a dinner for her birthday, and she organized it at an upscale restaurant. While there, she stated that she was thrilled to finally have enough money to properly decorate their living room.
“My FIL laughs, a little too loudly, and says, ‘That’s what’s left of our money, folks! Going straight into throw pillows.’ A few people chuckled awkwardly. I tried to ignore it,” she explained.
“Later, when the bill came, he looked at it and said, ‘Well, I guess we’re paying. Can’t ask the one with $80,000 in student loans to chip in, can we?'”
“That was it for me. I felt my face get hot. I quietly gathered my things, leaned over to my husband and said, ‘I’ll wait for you in the car,’ and walked out. He stayed to smooth things over, but I just couldn’t sit there and be the family punchline anymore.”
Her husband is now accusing her of humiliating his dad at dinner while saying she clearly can’t handle a joke.
Her mother-in-law sent her a text defending her husband as a traditional man while chastizing her for causing drama.
