My OH's brother and I get on but more recently no the case. We used to argue over anything and everything and take the Mick but this was often restricted to when it was only our family their family is there ie my OH and children and the same for him.
BiL retired early at 50 about a year ago and his son and his wife that live in the same house decided to get a dog. This was about a month ago. They've named the dog the same name as mine and I found it very insulting. My OH said they have always loved my name and this is why they have done. When we met last week at a wedding I said to them they could have picked another name out of the millions, they just smiled and said it was a lovely name. They all had smirks on their faces. My children lol initially but they get it and told me to ignore it.
My OH is saying I've always been too 'sensitive' and a 'hypocrite.' EG, I often take the p out of the BiL and his wife but as I said only when the two families are alone
I'm seriously embarrassed, hurt and fear others finding out about this and mocking me.
AIBU?

YANBU, they sound like utter cunts smirking about it.
Don't invite them round again and don't go to theirs again.
And if you do see, call the dog BIL's name.

Well they've done it for a reaction which you've given them by asking them about it, but they're the ones who are now stuck have to use your name multiple times per day.
It sounds like you all need to grow up.
And I feel very sorry for the dog.
