Didn't want to post this on the main board

Long story short. My friend's DH asked my DH for a loan.

The loan itself sounds fishy because something isn't adding up.

Plus, I'm not supposed to know or tell my friend.

Keep in mind, DH and friend's DH only know each other through us although we are couple friends now. Still.

I need this to go away STAT because I'm thisclose to emailing friend about it.

He told him no, right? Did he say why he needed the money? This is so uncool and I am leaning on you telling your friend. Wow.

Did your H say no? Do they work together or did he just call your H out of the blue?
It would sound fishy to me and I would call my friend. If he's wracking up debt all over the place, I'd want to know asap.

He didn't tell him anything. At first, he thought he was kind of kidding but this morning he found out he wasn't.

I had a busy morning at work as did DH so we will revisit tonight but the answer is no.

The question is more of telling my friend I have to but I don't have enough information to do that right this second.

That is so odd. Why would he just ask your DH? It's your money too.

Did he think he would give to him without even consulting you?

That is soooo messed up. I would hope your DH would just cut him off right away and tell him that he doesn't make financial decisions without his wife.

DH wouldn't give it to him without consulting me which is why I know. I'm sure he thinks (the other guy) that I don't know.

I'm so ticked that this is even happening. What a douche.

That's really weird. Is it a big loan, or a smaller amount?

[ecupirate04]

Less than 5k but more than 2k. Enough for me to vacation on.

[slug*bug]

Oh wow.

I think I'd hold off on telling my friend until I had more information, though. Only because it goes w/o saying that there's obviously a lot more to this story.

Right. I hate stuff like this. Thanks for letting me vent here. Going home in a minute to get more details.
