Dear Annie: I’m a recent widow with an in-law problem. My late husband was a generous man and frequently lent money to his family, often without my knowledge. He did tell me a few months before passing away that he had lent his brother, “Simon,” several thousand dollars.
Simon has always been somewhat of a bully, not to mention a known thief and a poor money manager, but he promised to repay my husband after Simon received an expected work-related settlement. Simon can be somewhat intimidating to me , so I approached his sister to ask her advice about this since we became aware that Simon’s settlement had been received.
Are there any reasonable ways to address this? Or should I simply write off several thousand dollars that I do really need since losing my husband? -- Grieving and Not Prepared For a Confrontation If Simon cannot repay it all at once, discuss installments on a payment schedule that works for you. Depending on the amount of money and the state you live in, you could try pursuing the issue in a small claims court. If need be, it might be worth consulting a lawyer to see what legal recourse you have for recollecting the loan.Dear Annie: I’m engaged to an amazing man and love him dearly, but I get jealous when we’re with friends and other females show up.
Dear Bitter Bride: You’ve said it twice: You trust your fiance. It sounds like he’s given you no reason to doubt him in the past, and these continued, unfounded anxieties will only lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy. Perhaps he feels freer to enjoy himself and the company of these friends when you’re not there because he doesn’t have to worry what the “jealous person” in you might do in these social settings.
