My Sister-in-Law Had a Plan in Mind for My Husband. When He Refused, All Hell Broke Loose.
Briefly

The article addresses a reader's dilemma about family expectations versus professional boundaries. The reader's husband declined to fix a family member's house for a friends and family rate, leading to outrage from her sister-in-law. The ensuing conflict has caused family strife, including accusations of betrayal. The advice suggests the reader should support her husband’s decision and maintain boundaries to avoid unnecessary drama, emphasizing that family dynamics can complicate business relationships and that it's vital to prioritize reasonable boundaries in such situations.
You need to step back. This isn't your fight. You didn't buy the house and, unless I'm missing something, you don't run your husband's business.
If you have to choose sides, choose your husband's, because he is being eminently reasonable in a completely unreasonable situation.
