BIL is socially awkward and it fluctuates often. He uses humour as a way of dealing with this I think..but it is terrible, inappropriate and immature.
Examples include jokes about domestic violence or odd references to things that bear no relevance to the topic, especially things that try and embarrass other people or bring a serious chat down to a joke..
I've noticed it more and more recently and he looks for a laugh but often me and my DH just don't laugh or look at him which makes him look and feel more uncomfortable!
I'm not "behind the door" with stating if I disagree about something and we have debated about many many topics in the past so he knows I say it how it is..I just think if I draw attention to a bad joke it will make him feel even more socially awkward?? More so the immature ones..because it's kind of an attack on his sense of humour/personality!
Help!
It irritates me so much though and I feel it may be hindering him finding a girlfriend and settling down!
