In this week's Awkward Moment...
My FBIL hates me (that's Future Brother in Law for those of you not yet versed in the acronyms of the online married folk; yeah, I never knew it existed either). The problem is, I don't know why. What I do know is that whenever I'm around, this is him:
The problem is, this didn't start until after the engagement. Before that, we got along pretty well - or so I thought. Unfortunately, we are in each other's space a lot due to the living situation, so sometimes we bicker about things like dishes, but nothing major. He was a generally friendly dude. Now, it's more like, "Dude, what the fuck?" He's done a 180 on me, starting the day I flashed a ring. The fiancee is oblivious and refuses to talk to FBIL or acknowledge anything is amiss, so I decided to ignore what could have very well been my imagination since it can be quite active sometimes...
Until the FBIL said something to me recently that confirms my suspicions that he has some issue with me. Only, he won't say what the issue is. WTF?? Since being misunderstood is one of my pet peeves, this did not go over well with me. And the fact that he is now walking around like he didn't basically tell me he hates me for no reason he's willing to share, is adding a creepy factor to it. Whenever FH is around (future hubby), he's all fake smiles and laughter and as soon as FH turns his back, FBIL is throwing shade. He either glares at me when he thinks I'm not looking, or pretends I'm not there. I did the right thing and asked him what I've done to upset him and he gives me nothing. I can't make heads or tails of it.
All I do know is, if I go missing, the search better start with his trunk.
