Sometimes it seems like you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. If he had chattered to everyone about his ex-wives and how much money he made,everyone would have said he was a jerk. He says nothing and everybody says he's a jerk...whatcha gonna do....?

Is this your sister who died?

Why would she even care? It is your sister-in-law who is married to him. Did you forget what you first posted?

It is my wife's sister's new husband we are talking about.

(My immediate family has basically cut me and my wife off for not bailing them out financially.)

Everyone knows that true rudeness is not what you say but what you don't say and non verbal communication.

So, what did you tell her?

Surely it wasn't, "Excuse me and let me get back to you on that. I have to go ask an Internet forum full of strangers for an answer first."

Maybe we should suggest some hobbies?

What do we know about the OP? Oh wait only fiction.

my recommended comment: "I wish them nothing but happiness."
The end.

Lol. He's been friendly enough to get himself four different wives.
