Ok so I was wondering if anyone can help me.My brother in law(Hubbys brother) came round to our house last night and he didn't even say hello to me.He sat down and got his phone out!He did talk after but I have noticed everytime he is around me he fiddles about his phone and seems so interested in that.I find it very strange.We have not had any arguments so there are no bad feelings between us.Can anyone shed any light?

Who’s arsed what BIL’s think of you

littlepaddypaws · 18/10/2019 19:45

reading your other posts op i'd feel awkward around you if i was him

PennyNotSoWise · 18/10/2019 19:48

He's not acting strange. I also usually try to distract myself with my phone when I'm in the company of people who make me massively uncomfortable.

NoSauce · 18/10/2019 19:51

He’s definitely cottoned on that you fancy him. He’s probably scared shitless.

GettingABitDesperateNow · 18/10/2019 19:57

I'd hazard a guess it was your window sticker saying 'I heart my BiL' or your t-shirt with his face on it that you passed off as everyone in the family having a family member (but your husband got his great aunt Mabel) as the thing that made your brother slightly uncomfortable with you.

That or hes on mumsnet and knows this isn't the first thread about him. Heads up - Sunday lunch tomorrow may be a tad awkward.

Unless he is on Mumsnet it’s unlikely light will be shed

This is weird op. You should stop it.

Tinkobell · 18/10/2019 20:00

Sitting next to someone and sharing cake from the same plate is kind of intimate ......did you play spoonsies and feed each other? OP if you want a fast track to divorce you're going the right way about it aren't you? You won't get your BIL OP, pursue this and you'll probably loose everything and be alone....careful what you wish for!

Good lord

GeneHuntLover · 18/10/2019 20:02

How many threads do you post a week OP, this has got to be around the 10th this week?

OkayGo · 18/10/2019 20:07

Haha oh god

meganxz · 18/10/2019 20:08

@ThePallidBustOfPallas I WAS fully expecting this to be a random thread but to see it actually is the OP is just gold 

Right OP @SugarAndSpice24 you have a serious problem, you're making numerous threads about your BIL. He's ignoring you because he can probably sense your predatory intentions. I get the vibe that you're probably very blatant and make him feel uncomfortable.

You are not going to get the affair you want. Please get over it

@KatoPotato GrinGrinGrin thanks for making me laugh on a very depressing evening.

Butchyrestingface · 18/10/2019 20:14

He doesn't hate me because he shared his cake with me last week

Maybe he spat in it first?

TellMeWhoTheVilliansAre · 18/10/2019 20:15

He definitely fancies you. Next time you share a cake from the same plate, close your eyes and lean in for the kiss.

Sure what could possibly go wrong?

Crimearino · 18/10/2019 20:18

@Butchyrestingface Grin looooooooooool

ChicCroissant · 18/10/2019 20:18

You may be obsessed with him OP, but he doesn't feel the same way about you. He has come to see his brother.

He's uncomfortable around you because he thinks you're a bit embarrassing?

VenusTiger · 18/10/2019 20:38

He’s ignoring you because he’s clearly not interested OP. Get. Over. It.
No more threads about not getting any attention from your husband’s brother please, it’s insulting to your husband.

ItsJustTheOneSwanActually · 18/10/2019 20:40

Well that's awkward Grin

WhenISnappedAndFarted · 18/10/2019 20:41

Leave your brother in law alone, he's clearly not interested in you. There's also no way I'd share cake on the same plate with my BIL, he'd probably wonder what the hell I was doing.

Oh no!

“SugarAndSpice24
Hello.I actually hate myself for saying this but I like my brother in law.I have no idea how and when I started feeling like this.We get on well and I used to casually text him (brother in law was very ill)which hubby was aware of.So now all of a sudden I feel attracted to him.He always has a lovely smile when he sees me and our hands have accidently touched when I have been passing him something.Just recently I noticed that he had blocked me on watsapp then after a week he had unblocked me.I have no idea why he had done that.I dont message him everytime.We are more like friends.I guess,what I want to know is why he blocked me then unblocked me if we are just friends.
I would never cheat on my husband and really feel ashmed for being attracted to someone,especially his brother.”
