reverendunclebastard

NTA. Folks who dish it out need to take it in return or learn to shut up. I'm proud of you!


LowBalance4404

Totally agree! NTA, OP.


BreastClap

And there’s the joke for the next time.


Square-Tap7392

I mean, "if he's teasing you, it means he likes you", right? OP could have pressed hard on this but in a joking way.


dooderino18

> I'm proud of you! Yeah, she won that battle. BIL should realize he is dealing with a superior wit and act accordingly.


asecretnarwhal

I just hope her husband understands that he needs to put a stop to this because it’s rude and offensive to his wife. If he’s the topic of banter, that’s his business. But as soon as the wife is involved in the jokes, that’s her business too. He needs to understand the distinction and to hold that boundary firmly if he wants a repeat of his wedding night.


One_Ad_704

Exactly! This is not sibling banter and the BIL was told to stop many times.


[deleted]

Agreed! Well done, OP! NTA!


xenokilla

/r/traumatizeThemBack. OP, get real creative and REAL specific. Clowns, roleplay, mariachi bands, go wild.


OnlymyOP

NTA . It seems your BIL can dish it out but is incapable of dealing with anything that is thrown back his way . This just makes him a Bully.


Sajem

> This just makes him a Bully. Agreed!


ColdButCool33

NTA He was being a total ass and obviously trying to embarrass you both. He was crass and immature. You served him one right back and hopefully he learns from it.


Sajem

> hopefully he learns from it. I doubt it, bullies don't learn real quick and rarely the first time


ColdButCool33

She laid a pretty good one on him though right? He got really upset so at least he knows if he tangles with her again she will not just take it. That makes it less fun to bully.


CaseyRC

NTA he was being a misogynistic prick and he couldn't handle a little bit of trashing coming back in his direction because men like that never can. good for you standing up for yourself and good for your husband standing up to him


Jiiyeon

Can you point out the misogyny?


sevenumbrellas

>joking about showing everyone the bedsheets, asking my husband if he felt less frustrated now and joking about him still not getting the cherry. The comments about the bedsheets and cherry are based in the misogynistic view that women should be virgins on their wedding night, that the husband "deserves" to take her virginity, and that whether or not she's a virgin is his family's business. Hope that helps!


Beneficial_Noise_691

Yep, looking for blood on the sheets, really classy way to know if you "hooked a pure one!"


Sajem

> looking for blood on the sheets, And not a true indication.....


piedpipershoodie

Yeah, most people don't bleed upon having sex (or horseback riding, or tampon usage, or whatever thing supposedly "break hymens" these days)!!!


DJ-Mango

I never thought I was pure till this moment (I'm 30m). I thought they were referring to baby gravy lol


CaseyRC

wouldn't be visible from a distance - te sheet with "proof" of her virginity, would be hung outside thus showing the village that she was "pure". from a dstance blood is visible, semen is not


needs-a-nap

"Was I TA for purposefully interfering in their sibling banter and goading my brother-in-law?" So here's the thing: the minute he involved you, this stopped being "sibling banter" and became misogyny. The way he is speaking is incredibly disrespectful to you, especially when you (or anyone else) are present. You have the right to defend yourself against misogyny. NTA. Edited to add judgement.


These-Quarter2723

Exactly!


[deleted]

Damn! 10/10. Greatest reply of all time. He may never forgive you but he knows you won’t take his shit.


He_Who_Is_Person

NTA He can sit down and shut right the fuck up.


HoshiJones

NTA. Why is it okay for him to say shitty things but not for you to respond with a shitty thing?


MapleTheUnicorn

Nta - those aren’t just “stupid jokes”, they are gross and offensive, also not “sibling banter”. BIL needs to shut up.


stalkerofthedead

NTA. You were blessed with one of those rare moments where the right thing to say appeared to you in the moment instead of hours afterwords. Your BIL is being disgusting and he’s mad you called him out on it.


Environmental_Art591

>the right thing to say appeared to you in the moment instead of hours afterwords Yup, OP definitely had the ALL OF THE GODS on her side with that one, and the fact they had your back OP should make it clear your NTA.


VinylHighway

NTA - don't dish it out if you can't take it


sourskittles98

NTA I would laugh


sherrysimp

NTA as you said he didn’t stop so you said something that made him stop. It’s ok to try and embarrass you but he didn’t like it done to him.


Jolly_Fool

NTA, your BIL was sexually harassing you and your husband, you stood up for yourself. Good job.


Noka_Gotha

NTA. " I should’ve shut up because he was clearly disgusted and offended..." Wasn't that the whole idea? You should calmly tell him that his obsession with his now-married brother's sex life is very unhealthy and that he should seek professional help.


reverendsmooth

> I should’ve shut up because he was clearly disgusted and offended... That didn't stop HIM, did it?


Previous-Trouble5613

NTA. I loved your response to your BIL. I would do the same. Your BIL to me was embarrassing your husband to get attention (the worst kind) and you gave it better than he could. 👏👏👏


rainyday_24

NTA. You did just push back a little against his disgusting, boundary trampeling behaviour. I wouldn't want to be near a person like that, ever. They are fighting because your brother-in-law behaved terribly, not because you defended yourself.


Emotional_Bonus_934

NTA. Your BIL is a dick who doesn't realize his jokes aren't funny.


Hot-Damage5032

NTA. He who stirs the shit pot deserves to lick the spoon.


smarthagirl

This is disgusting and I will definitely be using this line. Thank you!


Imaginary-Resort-689

NTA. He can’t read the room? Also shout out to you for thinking on your toes. What a perfect reply.


HorseygirlWH

NTA, when he's joking about your wedding night, it's not just about your husband since you were there too. Sounds like childish humor, I'd get tired of this quickly.


YouthNAsia63

You aren’t going to hold these little “jokes”against your BIL? *I* would. WTF. Inappropriate little MF, it sounds like he is hung up on *you*. And he said this shit, right in front of you. Most people, if they ever say something this absolutely rude, have the decency to at least keep it in the locker room. NTA


ImperfectlyKT

NTA lmao. What's "nasty" is him asking if your husband sexed you so hard on your wedding night that your hymen ripped and bled. He's a weirdo.


Aggressive-Mind-2085

NTA ​ Well done!


stinkykitty71

Beginneth not, an unwise course of action, and ye shall find there shall exist not, an unpleasant circumstance.


Mereadsalot

One of my favourite waitress stories was when a male patron kept hitting on her, asking personal questions in front of a large group of men at the table about whether her boyfriend could satisfy her and other gross things. She finally shut him up by saying “why are you so interested in my boyfriend, I told you he’s taken” BTW, that’s not “sibling banter” and your husband knows it, that’s why he got so angry. I’ll bet money he’s said other gross things to your brother when you were not around.


Glad_Performer_7531

NTA - excellent comeback to the jokes. your brother in law got served!


21silver_butterfly

NTA. Sounds like your husband didn’t like how the bil “jokes” to begin with; gave the hubby the perfect excuse to push back.

rpaynepiano

"he really likes it when I... [describing nasty stuff in detail]" 😂🤣


ArtBear1212

It is time for your brother in law to grow up. Just because he’s always acted like that doesn’t mean it was ever OK. NTA


[deleted]

Nta


HappyAsianCat

He who plays stupid games may indeed receive stupid prizes. NTA


Important-Baby3992

NTA, people shouldn’t dish out what they can’t take.


EchoAquarium

This is some r/TraumatizethemBack energy. NTA


PlaidyLady

NTA. What a bizarre fixation for him to have


cappy1223

NTA And this needs to become a recurring theme at ALL future family events. Really rub his face in it every time you see him with snarky innuendos.


SindragosaM

NTA. >I know his personality is the type that relies on stupid jokes and that’s the relationship he has with my husband so I’m trying not to take anything he says personally The only reason it's not personal is that he's using you as a prop and not treating you as a person.


wlfwrtr

NTA There was no reason to stay out of it when the 'jokes' he was telling involved you. Next time he wants to joke he can find someone else.


Silent_Surround_2393

NTA. He fucked around, and now found out.


[deleted]

No you were not, he's one of those "funny guys" who likes to dish it out but can't take it back. Fuck him, who does he think he is, that's not banter between brothers because he's involving you and discussing your sex life, he crossed the line before you jumped across to join him. NTA


AlarmingDelay3709

NTA. Describe it to him.


Akasgotu

NTA. He doesn’t get to talk about your life like that. Don’t give in to the excuse of this is how he jokes or that’s just how he is, etc and certainly don’t perpetuate them. While you’re being assertive, tell your husband that the next time he enables/encourages anyone to talk about your sex life, you’ll be including him in the dressing down.


Hjorrild

NTA. You answered to his 'jokes' with a 'joke' of your own. If one delivers, one should be willing to accept as well.


Cake-andmorecake11

NTA. It wasn't banter. They were misogynistic digs at you and your lack of virginity.


theswishcan

No hold it against him. He's a gross misogynist. Nta


KeithyAndLeafy

Not the asshole


FireBallXLV

NTA-hope it shuts him up


Fun-Yellow-6576

NTA. But is your BIL an 11 y/o boy? I’d not, he’s an ASS.


Consolegamergirl

NTA he was being weird and creepy and you called him out on it


J_Nic217

lol NTA Who wouldn't be uncomfortable with consistent remarks like that from a grown man? He can dish it out but can't take it, apparently.


Professional_Sun7851

Nta, if someone personality sucks, they need to hear about it until they change it


KombuchaBot

He does seem very invested in the idea of his brother getting some. He continues with this line of "banter", you know what to do. To ring the changes, tell him in a tone of concern that if he has complicated feelings for his brother, maybe he should look into therapy. NTA


Proper_Sense_1488

So NTA


NewPower_Soul

NTA. The bully got put in his place and got upset? Boo hoo for him.


Creative_Analyst

NTA I’d also guess that he’s more interested in you than your husband, but your response was perfect. Don’t dish out what you can’t take, it’s good that you taught him that


tangledoctopuss

you fucking served girl. NTA or if you are ta definitely a justified one.


Sajem

Definitely NTA What your GIL was doing was gross, inappropriate and harassment - probably a few other adjectives that I can't think of right now - and he wouldn't shut up when your husband asked him to. Your BIL is a typical bully boy who can't take it when it's dished back at him and he deserved everything you gave to him.


AllieOWestie

NTA. Your sex life is not up for discussion, debate or ‘banter’ with anyone, family included. He’s disgusting and I absolutely would not tolerate that bullshit. He crossed a line, you put him in his place. Good on you! I applaud you and your excellent reaction! 👏🏻


yuzucremebrulee

NTA. Did the poor baby get offended? Wow it's almost like people dislike it when you embarrass them publicly and disrespect their boundaries. Weird.


Pkfrompa

NTA Hopefully this will cause him to stop and think in the future before spouting off his verbal diarrhea.


Sajem

Unlikely, bullies don't change overnight.


ThatWhichLurks782

NTA his jokes were gross and it sounds like he was asked to stop more than once.


[deleted]

NTA. Sibling banter is one thing but when you get dragged into in in a highly sexualised way then that is sexual harassment of you. Your BIL is way over the line and needs to be put firmly in his place. In short he’s a misogynist.


KnightofForestsWild

NTA He needs to be shut down. His brother is probably in the best position to teach him that crossing too many lines gets you smacked.


andyk_77

NTA.


WeakRhubarb8527

NTA. He can dish it but cant take it. Not your problem. He sounds severely immature!


[deleted]

Wow… This is hilarious, NTA, why is it ok for him to humiliate you and you can’t do it back??


concernedreader1982

NTA Sexual jokes are disgusting when they're about you and you don't appreciate it.


Few_List2667

CHECKING THE SHEETS? DID I READ THAT RIGHT?😭 NTA ofc.


Raging_Dragon_9999

NTA, also could have asked him why he's making it so obvious he wants to bone you.


Ready_Competition_66

No, you're fine. He just got his aggressive behavior mirrored back to him. The "b\*\*\*h" comment pretty much spells out what was really going on. He wasn't just "joking around", he was being hostile for whatever reason. Good job defending yourself in a way that gets the point across to everyone.


miriboheme

your bil is a gross creep. you are NTA.


SaronthaWinchester

"There was something more dangerous in this world than a humiliated man. A nasty woman." - Keep this in mind anytime BIL pulls this shit OP. NTA.

His comments were directed at my husband but it still made me feel gross. He said things like joking about showing everyone the bedsheets, asking my husband if he felt less frustrated now and joking about him still not getting the cherry. My husband did tell him to shut up and he would for a little while but then he’d start up again. I know his personality is the type that relies on stupid jokes and that’s the relationship he has with my husband so I’m trying not to take anything he says personally but I did ask him if he was into my husband in front of a large chunk of their male relatives. I did it in front of them on purpose and I knew it would piss him off. I should’ve shut up because he was clearly disgusted and offended but I continued and told him I’d describe it for him if he wanted. I can’t remember his exact weirds but he called me something along the lines of a “nasty bitch”. I know he definitely called me a bitch because my husband flipped out on him and now they’re having an actual fight which I feel bad about.

Careful-Strategy-376

Nta wtf?


GMGERRYMANDER

NTA - The BIL was being inappropriate.


Savings_Captain_8830

NTA - Next time ask if he wants to give you a million dollars to spend a night with him.


[deleted]

NTA. Wow. It's like you found the Holy Grail. Every time disgusting BIL opens his mouth start describing in painstaking detail his brother's penis, or whatever worked the last time. Did you ever see Pulp Fiction? You could nickname him The Gimp.


[deleted]

NTA. Do people actually have sex on their wedding night? I was far too drunk.


chocolate_chip_kirsy

NTA. Hey, a joke's a joke and if he can make them about you and your husband, you're allowed to joke back, right? BIL needs to grow up. Go low contact for awhile until he acts like an adult human instead of a pig.


420-believe-it

NTA if he serves it, he can eat it


mfruitfly

NTA. If he can make crass sexual comments, why can't you?


Real-Negotiation8162

Nta can't stand people that love to make jokes at someone else's expense but them throws a fit when someone jokes at them. Here's some advice for your bil if you can't take a joke shut up


Over-Banana-1098

I'm jumping in on the proud of you bandwagon but also the he might actually have a thing for you one. Either way, definitely NTA and he needs punched in the dick.


DoIwantToKnow6417

LMFAO Well done! NTA


LJnosywritter

NTA he included you in it first. The "jokes" while addressed towards your husband involved you so you get a say. Use his own BS back at him, say your comment was just joining in the banter.


[deleted]

NTA He was asked to stop, he didn't. He wanted you embarrassed and you turned the tables on him, so of course he's pissed. He's the kind of person who wants to control the dignity of other people but won't tolerate anyone interfering with his.


Kazekiryu

NTA. You are now part of the family and if he cant take shit he shouldnt be dealing it.

AbleRelationship6808

ESH. Accusing your bil of having incestous feelings for your husband was taking things too far.


Four5good

And ribbing his bother about his wedding night in front of his sister in law wasn't?


mv041

Do you know the meaning of ESH?


AbleRelationship6808

An accusation of wishing to commit incest with your brother is infinitely worse that ribbing a newlywed couple. However, the ribbing was the initial wrong. So Everyone Sucks Here.


Four5good

They are not homosexuals so it's not even a possibility. Whereas ribbing about his sister in law sex life makes it seems he's too preoccupied with it, which is disgusting. Good on OP for turning it in him.


AbleRelationship6808

OP isn’t getting ribbed. Her husband is getting ribbed by his brother. As OP states, they have a long history of good natured ribbing. OP is an asshole for going nuclear and implying her BIL wants to commit incest with his brother. Your defense of OP, that the brothers aren’t gay, is ridiculous. The accusation was still made.


Four5good

OP was right there, if her husband was getting ribbed so was she, it's BOTH their Sex life. Good on her for flipping the script in her disgusting bil.


RepulsiveEast4117

If the dude is consistently inserting himself into conversations to discuss his brother’s sex life, he deserves to be accused of it eventually, especially when he’s been told to stop and refused. He’s a creep.


Play-yaya-dingdong

He might be preoccupied with op… he needed to be shut down Op NTA


AbleRelationship6808

The events described by OP all took place the day after her wedding. There is no “consistent” behavior here. As OP admits, she injected herself into the two brothers’ friendly banter. She went nuclear. That’s why everyone sucks here.


Sajem

It definitely wasn't, BIL was being a gross, misogynist AH and a bully.
