BIL cuddling with MIL

[Anonymous]

This is a petty thread. I will get that out of the way now. I like MIL and BIL, and I don't have an "issue" here. I just want to be catty on an anonymous message board because I was kind of grossed out this past week when single adult BIL (well, he has a gf) and MIL were acting like a couple the entire week. Cuddling close on the couch, walking around with arms around each other's waists. She makes goo goo eyes at him and talks in a high pitched, coquettish voice. Blech!

Thanks for listening

As a follow up, FIL passed away many years ago and MIL remained single. I do think the relationship with BIL is kind of enmeshed. Do you guys think this is weird too or normal?

I think it's weird. I know someone like that too, in fact, I thought I knew who you were until you mentioned the FIL had passed.

Weird. And you are a better person than I. I’m not sure I could’ve tolerated that for a week.

[Anonymous]

I think that’s pretty weird ?

Weird

Odd. My 2 young adult sons have been home for a week and nobody walked around with their arm around me. They have thanked me for the continuous food though!

My DS12 won't even hug me- well, he tries to get me to bribe him for hugs and I told him "no bribes for hugs" because I'm raising him right and teaching him to respect himself and his own wishes.
So yeah, it's a little weird.

My MIL who I love dearly is like this with DH. It’s weird and it grosses him out even more than me. I just laugh bc he’s visibly squirming. I’m a mom of boys and hope I don’t do that!

I was maybe going to give her a pass until you got to the part where MIL is actively flirting with him.

WEIRD.

Very weird. Does BIL act differently around her too?

Is his name Norman?

My mother once made a remark about my brother’s trim waist size and it grossed me out. They are totally enmeshed btw, and my dad passed this year so it is even worse.
