Left Out of Home Decisions by Husband and Sister-in-Law
She co-owns a home with her husband and his sister, shares bills and chores, but they often make decisions without her despite apologies.
DEAR ABBY: A few years ago, my husband and I bought a home together with his sister. We share the bills and chores and, for the most part, it works. We live in a nicer home than we could afford on our own.
Frequently, though, my husband and his sister have discussions and make decisions regarding the house without including me. I have complained loudly and clearly each time I’ve learned this has happened. I don’t always find out. Usually, they’ll apologize, but the behavior does not change.
