Should I confront my brother-in-law?

Question

He has been repeatedly disrespectful to my sister-in-law over the years and my husband won't let me call him out. He lies and manipulates to get what he wants. He had a few affairs on her and got busted almost 2 years ago, now the smoke has cleared, but he is back to his old ways of choosing golf over a family outing or going out with the guys instead of visiting his sick mother-in-law, etc....

Answer 1

mind your own buisness  

Answer 2

Stay out of it, it's your husband's family and he doesn't want you to get involved.  If your sister in law asks for your opinion, give it, but realize that she is probably not oblivious to his actions and is embarrassed by them.  Instead of calling him down, try building her up so that she won't feel she's entitled to that kind of treatment.

Answer 3

You  need to stand up to him.

Answer 4

Someone needs to knock some sence into this guy, maybe your the one to do it.

Dont listen to your husband right now, call him out!

Answer 5

stay out of it.  maybe he does not want to visit his mother in law.  i hate my mother in law. i could care less if she is sick or not.  she has cancer and who give a c**p about her.

Answer 6

I can see why it would bother you but if his wife is aware of what he is doing it's up to her not you to talk to him.Let her know you are there for her if she needs you but stay out of it unless she asks.Now if she does not know what he is up to you could inform her but keep in mind if you don't have proof he will just deny it and then it may cause a rift between you and your sister in law and the family.

Punch his lights out
