SarahRose Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 my husband has some older half brothers that he barely knows at all. we have moved to the same state they live in. this one brother keeps posting on my facebook wanting to get together and hang out. since me and my husband got married, he has probably spoken to us a couple times and now all of a sudden he wants to be buddy buddy. another family member mentioned he has alienated most of the family due to he alcohol problems and the tendency to stir up trouble. frankly i can't see what we would possibly have in common other than husband sharing the same parent. i have a suspicion that he might be talking to us because we do well financially and he isn't. would you be suspicious too?
FitChick Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Just because someone is related by blood doesn't mean a damn thing. I'd steer clear. Tell him you'd love to get together with him but it will have to wait because you are in the middle of declaring bankruptcy and moving out of your foreclosed home. That should stop him from contacting you!
cerridwen Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 I despise drama and avoid introducing any into my life. Would I be suspicious? Maybe. But I'd be more turned off by the potential for this to turn into family feuds so I'd pass on the opportunity for any meet-ups.
Author SarahRose Posted June 17, 2012 Author Posted June 17, 2012 I can always say we're too busy with work. I hate drama and leeches Telling him we're broke isn't going to work as he's already seen what car I drive n the sister must have overheard me talking to the real estate agent and told him about the house we're buying.
