Brother in law acts strange around me

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?

Op, you want to have your cake and eat it, don't you?

I thank you 😊

GeneHuntLover · 19/10/2019 13:36

OP never comes back and never answers questions

Zaphodsotherhead · 19/10/2019 14:09

I think OP is about 16 and fancies her boyfriend's older, married brother.

It's literally the only excuse for being all 'ooh he shared cake with me so he must luuuuuuuurrrve me!' and breathless about it.

Any older and OP is very badly socialised.

On this post OP confirms she is in fact 39 @Zaphodsotherhead and not 16 as expected. I'm hoping OP comes back and answers some questions.

This thread has cracked me up. OP I'm not sure you're deserving of my first Biscuit but I'll let you share my Cake. Doesn't mean I fancy you though...

DrierThanANunsNasty · 19/10/2019 15:21

Well this is pure gold

mintcorneto · 19/10/2019 15:57

Cringing for you, OP

OctoberLovers · 19/10/2019 19:57

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

This is really funny!
I found another thread started by same person and replied to it in a humorous way - the thread wasn't that old (I realise that one person's humour may differ from another's but what I said was lighthearted).

Can't find the thread now!

You probably are giving off a completely infatuated vibe and he’s kinda creeped out.

He sounds awkward and not at all like he fancies you. Sorry op.

CustardySergeant · 21/10/2019 00:32

Bluerussian scroll up. It's the thread linked to 5 posts before yours.

Bluerussian · 21/10/2019 01:14

Thanks Custardy! So it is.

BanKittenHeels · 21/10/2019 01:22

This is SO weird.

MarthasGinYard · 21/10/2019 01:26

Blimey

100PercentThatBitch · 21/10/2019 01:32

What a TWIST

I'd be amazed if your SIL isn't onto you by the way.

Take care or you'll lose everything

rededucator · 21/10/2019 01:45

he shared his cake with me last week.We ate from the same plate as there were none left and he was sat next to me.I just find it all weired to avoid me then.

You shared from the same plate? OMG OP I heard that means you might be pregnant?! What's your mum going to day? You might have to quit school! Grow the fuck up, no one is buying this Dear Just Seventeen shit.
