If he's so short of money that he is saying that he needs to send her back, why on earth isn't his brother & his GF paying rent?!if they both did, then I can't see a reason for her hubby to need to send her back. Also if her hubby isn't paying rent or many bills, what is he doing with the money he earns?
Also by sending her back, it now means that he will not have her income that pays the rent & bills. How will that help him?
