Please to recall SIL who called off her wedding to Crazy Carl this past September (if you don't remember, he was going through a trial for abusing an old girlfriend when they met, and after it got serious I started keeping a sharpened trident and spear by my front door for when it inevitably blew up and I had to stab Carl). She's now dating a guy who lives with his parents because he had to declare bankruptcy and lost his house. He had to declare bankruptcy and lost his house because he took all the money, even the employer contributions, out of his 401K to buy a house and a big f*cking truck, and then got laid off. And since he wasn't vested despite claiming to have worked there over ten years, he had to pay it all back immediately, and has all kinds of debt now (but, it must be said, still has the truck).
I will say that he seems an affable enough nitwit, but he's stil a broke nitwit. I don't think she's ever dated a guy who was smart or not broke, let alone both at the same time. Anyway, now they're posting all kinds of lovey sh*t on the Facebook, and Mr. Kuus and I are clenching our cheeks and girding our bowels for the inevitable ill-conceived and premature engagement.
I just don't know what my SIL and BIL (his fiancee is a broke dullard, too) find to be so godawful unappealing about smart and together people. Can any of you explain this to me?
