Oooops indeed McSmoothie.
I can see a point in the maybe distant future where the wife decides my usefulness means the door has to be re-opened.
The amount of favours done by me and my wife to their family have been literally endless, from me building the kids garden swing / slide set up & concreting the bases in (would have cost them £750!), picking kid up from playschool several times when mother held up, looking after kid & granny when she went into hospital for 2nd kid - it goes on and on. She has no one else locally she 'trusts' to do this kind of thing and now her hubby has blown the friendship apart. She has told me in the past he does this kind of thing - explodes - and often he has the wrong end of the stick, then repents and tries to make amends as if nothings happened - even blew his best friend out in a similar manner 2 months ago. The guy is an absolute tw*t in my book.
If I'm crossed, I stay crossed and switch the person / people off
