+1. The type of guy that seeks out a relationship with someone significantly younger than himself is typically the type of guy that wants someone to control. This is even more true when the the person he is pursuing is a minor. The texts just prove it. |
+1. The only inappropriate thing about the conversation is that your BIL told you to Watch It. |
Seriously? I'm a grown adult. When someone says "watch it" to me, I either internally or externally tell them to fuck off, depending on which feels better. OP is an adult, not their kid. Although I see that BIL apparently has trouble understanding ages and stages as it is.... |
I disagree. She should be allowed to express her opinion in a respectful way which she sounded she was doing. Personally, I agree with you op and I don't think you need to do anything! |
| NP. The guy sound like a creep. I wouldn't have anything to do with him. |
|
NP with a different perspective. I think the BIL was incorrect in the way he did it but he was clearly trying to warn off OP from a subject that was sensitive to both SIL and BIL. I think OP was more interested in expressing her opinion than she was in respecting other peoples' sensitivities.
Note that I am not saying that the relationship between BIL and SIL at 18 and 13 was okay. I am saying that at their current ages, BIL and SIL seem super sensitive about the subject (which indicates to me that they know others don't approve), and it would have been more respectful for OP to drop the subject immediately. And especially by the time the BIL got to "watch it". |
Really? I would have just backed off. My opinion is not so important that everyone needs to know it about every little thing. If OP intended to have a good relationship, or even a cordial one, with her in-laws, keeping mum with an opinion no one needs to hear would be a good start. |
| Ew you were not wrong |
they are bullies and over-sensitive. you said completely normal, generic things. |
F*** THEM! A 13 yr old dating an 18 yr old is not kosher, it is illegal and immoral and I'll be damn if I am going to say it's ok to try to appease the feelings of the freaks who co-sign on that ignorant $hit |
WHY ARE WORRIED ABOUT A GROWN ASS MAN WHO WAS DATING A CHILD? WHY? |
+1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 And when he told you to watch it -- you should have said, 'WHY??" |
you are crazy as BIL. The topic was NOT ABOUT BIL, it was about ANOTHER sex offender in the family. Just because someone is "sensitive" about their dysfunction and illegal behaviour doesn't make that the rules of engagement for the sane people in the room. |
| These creepy m******* would not be anywhere near my kids...their judgement and allegiance is HORRIBLE. |
