My SIL (40s) speaks loveydovey to BIL in public

I know I’m being unreasonable, it’s nothing to do with me. But SIL (recently married for third time if that makes a difference) is like a teenager with newBIL.

Her children are mortified and quite frankly I agree with them. She’s doing the whole “No YOU put the phone down” thing and “I love you more” when she rings him and we can all hear. She sits on his knee in public and murmurs loveydovey stuff.

She’s 45!

I’m younger and feel older for thinking it’s cringe making!

Oh dear very cringe

Honeymoon phase, it'll calm down.
But if it doesn't... Just leave them to it!

They might be doing it for a laugh in front of her older kids as a wind up 😂

Better than swearing at each other. It'll wear off Smile

Yes, much better than the swearing and “your dad is a twat” comments she came out with with oldBIL!

I didn't like all that as a teenager let alone now. Hopefully she'll calm down, I always think 'what are you trying to prove and who to?'

Apart from sitting on his knee I wouldn't find this cringy.
