I just don’t like the way the hubby trumped this wife.

Why doe he think he has essentially “veto power” in this situation? Sure it’s 'his parents" but this is a long-term marriage so it’s not like the wife has a recent relationship with these folks. They probably think of her like a daughter.

The wife is not a child, she’s an educated woman…it was a gift to her, not him. She worked, she helped prevent the in-laws from sustaining a larger money loss.

It would be one thing if he said to his wife, “that is too much money. It’s your decision, but I would feel better if you gave $XXX back.” But no, it’s like he essentially grabbed it out of her hands and gave it back. How disrespectful.
