No, your BIL was not rude to you at all.

I'm not really insecure. But I don't think it's polite to do. It's rude. Even if I was insecure, he was trying to make a job about my weight.


Or you could be over thinking this... seriously, it may be all in your head.


Seriously. My BIL wouldn't have it together enough to do something as mean as that on the fly. I can't even imagine a normal person aiming for the pettiness you are ascribing to him.

Most people spend much less time thinking about us than we think they do.


Except that his own wife admitted I am correct.


So then why on earth are you asking us?

Depends on height and body type, obviously. Age has little to do with it.

Agree. Clearly her goal is stoking an argument, not actually getting advice to solve a problem.

He weighs around 240lbs.

I knew it! Jerk.

Just hang with your sister when she's not around BIL. Unfortunately when you marry an a-hole it limits your other relationships.

That's the consequence for your sister and you.

Of course he's rude. Nobody disputes that.

Question is, what do you do about it? Or do you even do anything about it? Most people are saying, don't give him too much mental energy. He's not worth it.

Even my sister commented that the man looked uncomfortable when BIL said that.

Anyway, pretty much every time I see BIL there is some sort of issue like this.


OP, so sorry that your BIL is a rude and uncaring person. Next time he pulls something like this, you should just ask him in front of everyone - "Why would you say something so HURTFUL?" Don't use the word "Rude" because then he can say that he is just joking, use the word "Hurtful". It shuts up rude people.
