MY Brother in law acting like a jerk, do i mention it? -

he was being really snotty today saying shut up etc.. and mostly directing it on me. thne he made the comment he thought i was much older than i am. then he started giving me unsolicited weight loss tips. I feel like saying somethign to my sister. im really mad about it. it was her baby shower trodya and i didnt do ANYTHING TO HIM. i barely takled to him all day, in fact. hes a little **** asshole. and my sister is going to be babysitting for me this semster and i cant bear the thoght of having to deal with him ona regular basis. help me cool off * figure out what to do (PLEASE!)

That s a very touchy situation. The longer you go without addressing it however - the more difficult it will be to curb his behavior. You very well might tick him off - but what choice do you have? You need to be honest with your sister - but non-judgemental. Tell her you re telling her this because you care about her, you care about her marriage, you care about your neice/nephew and the home they ll grow up in, you care about your whole family. You need to be genuine. Keep any temper you have in check. Offer to help your sister in any way you can. Bring in other family members to discuss it if your sister is comfortable with that. If you don t take action - more likely than not you ll experience an ugly incident down the road. Families are so important - and we so often ignore things that can be fixed or at least improved. Preventative medicine or - maintenance - it s huge. You deserve to be treated better. Your sister needs to know - for that sake of her, her children s her family s future.Good luck.

It sounds like he is jealous of your close relationship with your sister. It s unfortunate, but she chose to marry him and now THEY are a family unit that surpasses all other relationships. Her loyalty now belongs to him. Just try to ignore his comments if you want to remain close to your sister. I would not put her in the position of feeling she has to defend him OR to choose between the two of you. You already know what her answer should be if forced to a choice between the two of you.

Tell your sister for sure.This sounds like it could escalate to something worse.I have a Friend that was raped by her brother in law , so try not to be alone with him.He sounds like a nasty person that you cannot trust.I would be reluctant to leave my child alone with him and your sister. Even if your sister is there because she is not noticing the bad way he treats you , so why would she notice it if he treated your child bad?.You really cannot trust men that you do not know well around your children and he sounds like the type that might be a child molester so just beware.I do not want to make you too paranoid , but just considering his character you never know.

You don t give us much information.But what come to mind, is your brother-in-law maybe jealous of your relationship with your sister.Are you spending a lot of time together?He may think your cutting into his time.Talk to your sister. She should sit him down and ask him what his problem is with you.Also, you sound kind of young. Do you act foolish around him? Maybe he is just reacting to your behavior.You know men get funny when their wives are pregnant. They sometimes feel left out. A women has a special bond with her child, he may be won t get that bonding till the baby is born.give him space.

You should have told him to stop being a jerk at the baby shower in front of all the people. Ask him why he is so insecure that he has to blast others.

say if i were your older sister and married to a man that said /did this bla bla bla what would happen?

tell him to f*ck off and that your NOT interested in anything he has to say to you!-DO IT!

What a benevolent beast. Best to see as little of him as possible. I m wondering if you really want your child or children exposed to him. They pick up on things. Perhaps it would be best to use daycare for every ones peace of mind.?

i would reccomend telling him how you feel in a lady likefashion. he obviously was not a gentleman to you, so showhim you are a better person than him and express yourself in a dignifyed, sincere, and lady like style. that will make him look and feel as small as an ant. good luck and God Bless.

Geez! that is a problem. I suggest telling your sister about it since she can set him straight. Also, you shoundt take crap from him. Set him straight since maybe he feels its ok when you dont do anything.

tell him to f*ck off

just ignore him...and concentrate on work, his your sister s husband anyway so kinda part of the family thats what family do get on other family members nerves...just keep your cool and tell your sister that your a bit annoyed of her husband attitude maybe by telling so he will change bit...
