You should let it go, but keep in mind who you are dealing with in the future. Do NOT in any way shape or form act like you have done anything wrong. I'd personally let my wife stew as long as she wanted, and go on with having a great life. If it is any consolation, they are just typical Americans. Welcome home.
Can't be said any better than this!

Technically, you didn't do anything wrong, he did. I wouldn't back down.
My take as well.

Don't back down. I deal with the same crap at work. It's an attitude that has come on big in the last 10 years. I'm wrong and I know it so I'll get mad at you! YOU SHOULDNT HAVE TO PUT ANYTHING IN WRITING WHEN IT COMES TO FAMILY... You got burned.

Both of our discussions were between just the two of us. I'm not sure what he shared with his wife, but they are of similar stinginess/thriftiness/tightwadness. The re-neg on his word isn't a shocker, history bares out his love of money and lack of generosity. Mostly it was his reaction to being found to lack integrity and ethics, at pointblank range, that was interesting.

You guys are awesome and even better than Dear Abby. Thanks for taking the time to respond. If any unexpected events occur later in this soap opera, I'll post here again.

PS... the wife and I are good. She pretty much knows what kind of guy he is, but she always puts family harmony #1. Her only gripe is that I never should have brought up the whole thing. Considering the results, she may have a point.

If he thinks you and he were the only ones who knew, he may have been thinking it was safe to mention he sold the car and the amount, figuring you wouldn't bring up the agreement if he didn't. Very skeevy on his part.



When you asked him if he remembered the agreement, was he alone with you?

If he was, and then he went and whined to the others, he's even more of an azz.

You did nothing wrong or stupid... and you shouldn't need a signed document on something like this with family. Good grief, this whole thing is clear as day; he should pay you the $1500 and you should accept it.

Graciously.

With a handshake and a smile like nothing ever happened.

And then there won't be any tension in the air during those once a month sleepover visits.

Until then, feel free to give the cold shoulder to this jerk... you are totally within bounds. Totally.

I have a strong suspicion he did NOT share the agreement (to split profit) with his wife.

You will probably not get your money unless you literally split the family in two. Don't back down, don't forget about it, but move along. You were screwed. I suspect I'm rather childish in these matters, but next time they brag about how much money they got from selling something, tax refund, etc., I would pop up and say GREAT!!! NOW YOU CAN PAY ME THAT $1500!!! I'd get years out of it.

But then again...I'm a jerk. LOL!

She needs to put her family first. I define her family as anybody that lives in your house. Her sister, and everybody else comes a distant second.

You did nothing wrong, so quit second guessing yourself. The problem lies wholly at the feet of the jerk. I'd let him decide if he wants to keep the family peace. If he doesn't pay you, at least he owes you an apology. Personally, I'd have nothing to do with him. I'd damn sure let him stay at a hotel in the future. Your wife may not go along with this but she ought to think about it a little.
