“I’m pregnant at 24 weeks. My spouse and I spent the past week visiting his parents in their city. It was filled with difficulties; they are challenging individuals. My BIL (28m) has been dating this woman, S (30f), for three years. She spent the entire time at my wedding 1.5 years ago, telling me how fortunate I am to have him. I replied he was fantastic, but then I smiled and joked that he was the fortunate one.”

“Anyway, BIL and my husband don’t talk much, so we haven’t spoken with her since. When we went last week, she and I ended up staying at MIL’s house. It was a small place, so things were cramped. I was watching for any unusual conduct. Aside from her babying him around, nothing untoward occurred. We returned the day before yesterday.

She video-called me today. I was outside and was unable to attend. Anyway, I find that abrupt video calls feel really intrusive. When I phoned her back on a standard audio call, she disconnected. “”She video-called me again, yelling ‘GUESS what I’m wearing!’ with the largest smile on her face. I stared stupidly at the television before realizing she was wearing my husband’s T-shirt. This t-shirt means a lot to us. We met on a dating app; it’s a striking shirt that he wore in his profile picture.

I recall telling this tale to my in-laws once, but I’m not sure if she was present and heard it. Anyway, I’m really annoyed. Her lover has a million shirts at his mom’s house; why couldn’t she just wear one of them? I think it strange that she insisted on video-calling me while wearing my husband’s clothes.”
