I feel like such a foolish person.

The dealership even offered to go down a whole bunch on intrest and payment...he still said no and called them unethical...to their face I might add. He let them know "You do not know her history and I do".

I am laughable aren't I. Just a foolish girl at 48 yeaRS OLD.
I feel shamed....not ashamed......shamed.
It doesn't matter WHY people boss you around. The reality is that your brother-in-law has NO AUTHORITY, nor the right to boss you around. He is the one who should be ashamed, and NOT YOU. He has acted in a decidedly unmanly manner when he disrespected you as he did. If I were your husband I'd have kicked him in the you-know-what, and then showed him the door out.

I think you need to stop blaming yourself for this bully of a BIL and for your husband's lack of action on the matter. You need to have a good talk with your husband and tell him that he is never to tell his brother anything about your shared lives again. It is quite clear to me that until your husband's head gets screwed on straight, he isn't to be trusted with protecting your dignity and privacy.

I'm really sorry this happened to you. You are NOT a loser, and have nothing to be ashamed about.
