I know i am supposed to post this in the family section but i always get better response from the Romance section. I don't know whether any of you has been in a situation where an in-law comes for a short visit and finally settles in your home without any sign of leaving anytime soon.

My wife's elder sister who is single came to visit us in January but up till now she has not made any move to go and it's not as if we live in a big apartment so there is no much privacy. We got married in 2015 so our union is still young.

This kind of situation puts one in a dilemma because you just don't know what to say and you will be termed "a bad person". She lies on our matrimonial bed even in my presence.

Before now i never knew someone would feel comfortable staying with a younger sister in her matrimonial home. If it is as a result of accommodation problem or maybe you went to a distant location to do one or two things and you now spend sometime in your younger sister's home, that is understandable.

Please what advice do you have for me?


Congratulations.... You just got a bonus from your in laws. That's shows you are a good guy. Enjoy! grin



Seat your wife down, explain to her. The reasons why you feel the visitors can't stay too long with you, So that she can face the exit door. You can't do it all alone.

my dear are you the bill payer?
if yes! and solely pay for rent and up keep of the home .. while her single older sister is leeching off both of you..that is WRONG but some siblings have no shame and don't know where yo draw the line ..
my dear for happy home tell her yo leave .. its your house!
if your Mrs pays half the bills then you will need to consult her and come to a joint decision ...

her sister will be angry for sure but she will get over it ..
never let people over stay their welcome... family or not a visit should be a visit .
Your advice is good but that "If your Mrs" line is not good. Whether or not the wife pays half the bills, she should still be consulted. However, it is the wife's duty to ask her sister to leave.
Actually, if I were to be the one, I will not allow my sister to stay too long in my matrimonial home as I don't want third parties intervening in my marriage. I will let her know right from the beginning and once she overstays the period agreed upon, she's out. Anybody that has any derogatory thing to say about it can go to hell, it's my marriage, not theirs.

Is she the main breadwinner in the house?
Please answer this question
This is not uncommon when the woman is the one bringing home the bacon. Shouldn't be so but the saying that he who pays the piper dictates the tune is so true.

Was this your wife's apartment before you got married and you moved in with her.
I suspect that could be the case
I can't explain what else would poses an older sister to lay down in her sister''s matrimonial bed besides stupidity and over familiarity .

Even if you are not pulling your weight financially ,I don't believe you should be disrespected in this manner.
Your wife is unreasonable for not coming to an agreement with you on how long her sister is there for and I am shocked you've not even mentioned it to her.
This make me suspect strongly that she may be the main provider for the family.
I feel for you
You must have a conversation with your wife about this
You're not scared of her are you?

my thoughts also, unless if the story was made up..

Please man up and tell your wife to ask her to leave. If she doesn't do so, tell her to leave and nothing will happen. If they like, let them term you bad person, you need space in your house. Its high time we men stand up and stop all these forming to be a good person to everybody.
.....Exactly. Somebody is dying in silent and he can't even act all because he wants to be seen as a good man.At times in life,when you want to preserve something,you end up losing it . This is one of the reasons some men die untimely. Eye service is very bad. Men should learn.

Is there any of their family member that is reasonable and you can talk to? Please explain to that person.

It is wrong for her to come and stay and refuse to go.

And if you have money for an extra mouth, bring one of your family members that she is not fond of to come and stay.
thats means you wont konge to kill the man and the wife! You hard him, he said they stay in a small apartment. Bros dont just do anything silly so they dont see you as a rong inlaw remember that we are working for our familie and inlaws pls dont break the chain you are not the only person that this have been hapening to pls try to be a good nigeria thats how we live here thanks for taking my candict advice, i have two of my wife elder sisters that are leaving with me!

I just pity some lowlives called sissy men who are scared to call anybody’s bluff including their wives.

The day you become that no-nonsense person who could call any woman’s bluff is the day you are ready for marriage cos women ll throw a lot of shit to your face along with her family but Mr no nonsense ll stand up and ready at all time to send the woman back to her family.

Once the family of any woman know that you are Mr no-nonsense man, trust me, both your wife and family ll behave themselves.

Honestly, put me in this situation for just 2 days, either the elder sister or both ll leave my house the same day. Life is too short to suffer in silence cos of pussy.

The moment you put your heart in the hands of a woman in that institution called marriage, you are finished.

A real man/ No nonsense man dictate how his home is runned while lowlives are scare to call the bluff of their wives so as not to get her and family upset.

If you want a peaceful marriage, be in charge as the manager not the houseboy.

.....Bros ,you ve said it all.The funny thing is that these group of men will be dying in silence but because of their eye service towards their in-laws,they can't act.

The Creator gave women two instincts - wifely and motherly instincts. No reasoning wife would allow the situation described here.
The last time I came across this Sisters Act, it turned out to be a gang up against the husband. Sister in-law was supervising her sister to deliver another man's baby to an innocent dude.
OP should put his foot down.

Allow your wife's sister find her own. She won't be that lucky hiding away in the village. Leaching is permitable if it is from family. It is when outsiders come to leach that irks.

Bros, your situation is very simple to handle, make sure you begin sleep with her and make sure your wife knows about it, it is your wife that would eventually drive her out of the house and when that happen...stop all contact with the lady...
Put it in motion then seat back,relax and watch as events quickly unfold itself...!!

No put am for quarrel oh!!
Peace..!!!

On no account you should open your mouth to tell your sister in-law to leave your house except she commited a serious offense. Pls hold yourself for now and manage nothing is pamanent maybe she is looking for a job.

If you ask her to leave, you become an enemy, and if your wife who happens to be her younger sister should ask her to leave, she'd assume your wife is being disrespectful to her because she's married and she's not. Tell your wife to explain the situation to her mother or someone older to call her back and give you guys space.
best advice so far

If you share a strong bond and agree with ur wife this should not be a problem at all... First why did she come in the first place, have u had this discussion with ur wife and what was her response? A sensible wife should know when her husband is uncomfortable with something and she also knows the best way to go about it.. But anyways call ur wife attention again and let her relate to the mother or any older relative that's if she can't handle her sister. If that fails man up and have a discussion with the Lady last last she and her sister go frown face like nwamkpi for some days and she will go period!
