AIBU to delete BIL off FB

[BellBlues]

My SILs and BIL (and at points MIL) have always questioned some choices my DH and I have made.

From Christmas arrangements to wedding choices and a few in between.

BIL posted earlier a photo on fb of my DH family surname and tagged everyone who has the surname. He wrote..

Reminding everybody and tagging who is left in the family.
DH decided to take my name when we married and it looks like he isn't too thrilled about it.

AIBU to delete him off fb? It's irritated me and I've normally kept fairly chilled out with responses and reactions to numerous things over the years. He's in his early 30s.

Just delete him he sounds like a twat or block him your name will still show up as friends on his fb but you wont see anything he spouts

He obviously feels strongly that your DH made an odd and rather hurtful choice that insults his family

Huh. I bet nobody would ever describe a wife's decision to take her husband's name as 'odd' or 'hurtful'. Sometimes I wonder whether we are living in 1957.

Your BIL is not The Godfather is he? Is the surname, "Corleone"?

He obviously feels strongly that your DH made an odd and rather hurtful choice that insults his family. He's entitled to that view.

No he is not. Just as he isn't entitled to think that women shouldn't work outside the home or be paid less than men or not have the vote. Not every "view" is worth having. He is a twat for thinking the name matters.

And are the family particularly dim that they need reminding of their surname?

So so glad I am not on fb.

What does your DH think about it? It's about him not you so I'd follow his lead rather than trying to wage a war of attrition on fb.

He sounds like the kind of person who really really hates to be ignored. So if you mute him and rise above it, it'll be much better then getting into a social media war.

Just hide everything from him rather than block, as you may be interested in other family issues. I've done this to my BIL btw.
