My mother-in-law wants to do me ....?

a favor and let me borrow money so that I can buy her daughter a wedding ring. When we married, I didn't have a job so I couldn't buy her a ring. Should I accept the money? and if I do accept it, should I pay her back. I dont want to have to get a job to pay her back. She's a real creep!

    If your mother in law wants to do you I would definitely suck it up and take that particular hit.

    Think of the argumant winning potential when you next row with your wife when you say "and another thing; that thing you do with my balls in your mouth...your mother does it so much better" That, my friend, is argument won!

  • I agree with the other answer from Robin, no you shouldnt take the money for the ring, go out and get a job and get the ring with your own money.

    If you do borrow the money then you will have to pay her back unless you want to be forever in debt to a woman you obviously dont like!

    No don't borrow the money to get her a ring either start saving a little as you can or pick up extra work and save that money but if your wife married you without a ring she would probably appreciate it if you saved your own money and got her one when u can afford it. Good Luck!

    No, don't get into that kind of situation, you do what you feel is best for your household. Who's running the marriage/household here? You or your MIL? I mean a mama always wants what's best for her kids, and so you didn't have any money at that time to buy a ring for your wife. Okay, how does your wife feel about it now? I don't know nothing about your finances, but that's between you and your wife to discuss, not the MIL. Not unless she told her mom something. Anyhow, discuss this option with your wife and see how she feels/thinks about the whole situation.

    Good luck.

    Don't accept the money. Buy the ring when you can and with your own money. Oh...and get a job.

    Be a MAN and get a FN job ad buy her the ring yourself. Don't start out mooching off of her family. Do you think the family will honestly respect you. I wouldn't knowing that you want to marry my sister or daughter with no means of providing for her.

    So if I understand correctly you didn't have a job when you got married, have no job now and don't want to get a job to pay back your mil for a ringset ?

    Well if she's a creep your a mooch ! How can you not work ?

    Dude, why aren't you working in the first place? No you shouldn't take the money. But go out and get a job yourself and buy your wife a ring.

    My dear Be a male not female dont take money. Have you read the answers of your question which are mostly given by females and they all have told you to not take money.It tells you that girls like those boys who make theirselves by their efforts. you also do not need to ask from your wife now

    as all the girls are thinking opposite of it hence she also must be thinking oposite of it. So prove yourself by getting a good job with your diligence and then you can get as many rings as you want. Wish you good luck
