To want to move into the shed if BIL comes to stay?

[Hedgeblunder]

Gah- horrible feeling that BIL is going to be darkening my door soon , luckily he lives abroad so I don't have to speak to him much at all.
He's a prize twat and on his last visit his evilness included such classics as-

'all people born on council estates are scum and should be burnt'

'women who wear make up and perfume obviously have no personality or intelligence, that's why they do it'

putting his (used)dental floss in my half drunk cup of tea

flicking rubbish at me when dp leaves the room

letting himself into my bedroom naked

so, I seriously thinking of moving into the shed with the cat until he goes again

Lol littlemiss- if I cry dp will do aaaaanything I want
it's a really mad situation tbh- he's not like this at all with anyone else ever, I just hope with time he'll realise what's happening here... Or I could just install secret cameras as evidence!

Thanks alot everyone though- my RL friends said oh it's only a week/two weeks but I don't think that's relevant really.

The length of time is certainly not the most relevant thing when we're talking about someone who makes you feel so horribly uncomfortable in your own home!

Best of luck! :)

I second Apricotworms - the BIL fancies you and is so socially inept he seeks your attention through the equivalent of putting worms down your blouse. Bit of reverse psychology - come onto him really strong? He may run a mile

have you got a webcam you could leave on forget to turn off without mentioning in order to video his horrid behaviour? Or so that dp could log on and see how bad he is?

"He doesn't do any of the really bad stuff until DP is out of the room/at work, that's the worst thing"

OK so 2 can play that game....

IF you have to have this disaster on legs under your roof, you don't have to put up with any shite at all.

Any off comment from him when DH is out of the room, just wait till he is back the room and say, so do tell me BIL what exactly you meant by , cos I find it utterly offensive.

If DH is out, you can tell him to fuck off sling his hook there and then.

OR tell DH that you don't want to bother him at all, but that BIL has made some really off remarks that you find totally inappropriate and he is creeping you out, and that making some kind of half arsed play for his brothers GF is sick... and that IF he really HAS to stay in your home that you don't - under any circumstances - want to be left alone with him.

DP goes to work, BIL leaves at the same time, and doesn't return to the house without him.

But I still say a foot must be put down and No must mean no.

how strange, hedge

you seem pleasantly assertive on other threads, but you would let someone make a complete mug of you, in your own house

what's that all about then ???

Do you know you aren't the first to say that he fancies me, my best friend said so too. Yuck.
That leaving the webcam on the laptop is an awesome idea, at least then it wouldn't involve any sneakery on my part!
Littlemiss- you're such a star! I never would have thought about waiting to reply/question his remark when dp returns!!
It is so so so weird, if we had been together 6 months then maaaybe I could cope with it, but we've been together 7 years, own a home and are ttc.
I love my dp so much and we support each other through everything, he seems to have it in his head that I'm a bimbo who's after dp's cash, even though I earn a considerable amount more than dp?!
I have read recently about narcissim and I think it is a word for word description of the man.
All of this terrible behaviour stems from him being bullied at 13, nothing physical ever happened to him, and it was 25 years ago!
The way he treats his mum is even worse, much crueler. He doesn't even phone her on mothers day, he turned up to Xmas one year and didn't bring her a present, he owes her literally tens of thousands of pounds and cuts all contact with her if he doesn't get his cash. Bastard.

Thanks all so much for your very clever advice, feel much more prepared now!xxx

Anyfucker-when it comes to family I lose my bottle a bit, my family is very small as we lost about 10 members of it in very quick succession so I do treat it a bit too previously I think?
if dp's friend had said this I would have picked his shit up and slung it out! Gah.

but you will still allow him to stay in your home ?

you are crazy

your dp can meet him in the pub, if he is desperate to see him

Precious* sorry!

hedge, I was only trying to get you to think a bit, don't mean to be nasty

I know how it feels to tiptoe around family

but seriously, I would not tolerate this nobber in my house for 2 weeks !

I'm going to give him a one strike an you're out rule, and make dp very very clear that this is his last chance . It will probably only last a day but at least i can say I tried iyswim?

ok, keep us posted, if only for the entertainment value

Nono you weren't being nasty-
I much prefer honesty of pussyfooting yes men!

Honesty instead of*
shite fucking iPhone!!!

If he gets through the front door I'll let you know!

2 weeks?? 2 WEEKS?

ARE YOU INSANE? [GRIN]

I'm in 2 minds....

Do we...

A) stage a MN Intervention,

or do we

B) let her have him there for the comedic gold that thread will bring....

strokes chin....

LMHF...I reckon we just sit tight...

Tell him to bog off to bogsville and find a hotel there.

tempting.....

gets more wine in.... G&T AF? or do you have a more autumnal tipple?

After the recent bunfights, we could do with a comedy outrage thread!

YANBU - is there room in the shed for me too? My PIL just arrived from abroad - no return ticket as usual,they outstay their welcome. Shed would be a welcome escape....

Yeah why not? There's room in shed for oooh about 4 and my cat, you lot can do surveillance and drinkg&t be supportive
