He has a pet name for his sister-in-law, he calls her clair-bear even in front of me. It makes me cringe when he does this and I have told him that them living there bothers me. I also recently discovered from "clair-bear" that my bf told her that I don't like to have sex with the lights on. This is very personal info and I was humiliated when she told me. I feel like he is catering to them and I just don't know what to do or feel. I really want to know if I am being too selfish by being hurt about all of these things? Reply to this Question Share |

You're not being selfish at all. I think you need to tell him again straight to his face you don't want him talking to them about personal stuff, and that perhaps they should be moving on. If it continues, and you're feeling second best, then the chances are you are second best and it's time for you to move on.
