I don’t like FIL. This is nothing new, his loud and an insufferable know it all.

Tonight (in ‘jest’) he called me a ‘fucking brass,’ This is just dick behaviour isn’t it? Dp often minimises his ridiculous comments because ‘it’s just how he is’ - but this one has really pissed me off.

Wibu to bring it up to DP tomorrow?

I know what “Brass” is slang for and it’s not a respectful thing to call a woman, particularly a family member, and if this is his idea of humour he needs to get his ideas out of the dark ages and your DH should be appalled and backing you up.

Classy family. What did your husband do to defend.

Why don’t you say something to FIL?

What was he saying? That you're a prostitute? Of course that's unacceptable but he's obviously not going to change. Your h needs to start calling out his behaviour or stop going.

A brass like a prostitute?

yes that’s not very nice!
