Hey,
So DH comes from a family a bit too touchy feely than mine.. and I often wonder which bits are just different upbringing and which are actually lacking boundaries..
So an adult sister doing the following with her brother is that acceptable:
1- sitting on her brothers lap asking for a back massage
2- stroking her brothers earlobe while in a conversation
3- asking him to stroke her arm because it feels nice on her dry patches.
Note that SIL is in her early twenties and DH almost 30. So there is the age gap.
I wouldn’t think too much into it but she had form for being passive aggressive and I’m starting to think she is trying to cross boundaries just to act possessive as this all happens in my presence and it’s becoming frequent. She acts excessively needy and entitled while at the same time beinf so undermining time me so I’m starting to see through her behaviour as not at all innocent. But struggling to put my finger on things.
Is it me, or is this a bit much ?
