my brother in law is weird

I don’t know if it’s just me or what but my brother is law asks the most weirdest questions. I recently got engaged and my sister got married but I didn’t really know he was like this until they moved together . He comes over and starts asking me about my husband and asks oh is your father in law bald? I go yeah and he goes oh your husband is balding too I’m like first of all is there any need to ask weird questions and then he starts going on about how oh when are you guys going to have the big wedding. My husband is definitely way more good looking than any of their family. His hair is thin but whatever he doesn’t care he can firm it. I’m like why is he asking me. Then his little sister I mean she’s a kid she goes oh u know what my husband reminds her of Alvin and the chimpmunk theodore bla bla tbh I’m like what’s wrong with these people

Your engagement means you are involved with his family, and if you find the questions weird maybe it is their way of asking you to think twice about marrying this guy? In love you love everything about your partner, and if they are a baldy then what is there not to love? You love him and all of his imperfections, but they are the same imperfections that make him so lovely. You love the whole.

It could be light hearted, it could be deadly serious. Are you two really compatable?
Unfortunately you marry into some extended family of cranks, weirdo's, jokers etc etc
Only you know, if you fast forward and envisage life every day being with this person whether you have made the right choice. If spending every holiday with his family creeps you out you might be better cutting your losses and finding a new partner? If your love for each other is strong enough you may have to discuss how you cope with those irritating relatives. But maybe that is what your Brother in Law if trying to get you to do? Does he see something amiss with your relationship that you don't see? Be honest, look at the cold hard facts. Do you want to wake up next to 'that' face for the next 50 to 70 years? Will you still love him when his head is in the toilet and his smelly underpants and socks are left lying on the floor festering away? Have a happy life. Life is too short not to.

Oh sorry I didn’t say this isn’t my fiancés brother it’s my sisters husband so he’s my brother in law. And I love my fiancé to death he’s been my school lover for life and now we’re getting married. My sisters husband is the issue he says weird things why does he care

Ignore him - he is coming across as insecure and immature. just be civil - and keep contact to a minimum. There is no accounting for relatives.

Sounds like hes not a social butterfly so hes coming off with random things in the hope he sounds interesting when in fact its a bit awkward. My sisters husband is the same. The kid though, they are like that. At least you dont have to seem them everyday
