DH showing my sister personal texts

Myself, DS and DH are very close with my mother & sisters. We live close by and my DH and sister work together and travel to work and back together, so spend a lot of time with each other. My sister doesn’t have children/partner and lives at home with my mother.

There has previously been an issue where DH would share details with my sister of private arguments we’ve had and my sister would sometimes use it against me after. I told DH a while ago that it needs to stop and as far as I knew/know, it had stopped.

Myself and DH had a very heated disagreement over housework, dinner etc via text today. My sister came over this evening and could sense there was an atmosphere, so she went into another room and asked DH what the problem was, in which he passed her his phone and showed her all of our messages.

At first, I was very, very angry but now very hurt, especially to do so in such a short distance of me in my own home. DH doesn’t see the issue at all and is making out like I’m overreacting. I admit I probably could have handled our disagreement better in regards to the housework and dinner to begin with.

So, AIBU? Would appreciate honest thoughts :)

Even if they're not shagging, it's weird to drag extended family into arguments. And your sister should be on your side, not his.

It depends... my in-laws were often on my side when my ex-husband behaved like an arse. They still like me and moan about his behaviour to me

How long has he been shagging your sister?

Because honestly thats how it reads to me.

Agree your sister asking your husband what the problem is not you is a huge red flag. He is treacherous telling her. They sound over enmeshed

Maybe the leson to be learned is don't argue by text, its there in black and white. I feel yabu, people are allowed to vent to others
