My husband was close friends with my brother before we got together. My brother was fine with our relationship for about 6 months until we eloped without telling him and now, he seems to keep finding issues. He never says anything to my husband but instead complains to me or tells me to tell my husband to stop doing things because he doesn’t like them. Even when he wants something from my husband he asks me to ask him now which is also annoying.

His latest issue was that my husband was touching my ass in front of him and their friends. He was acting like he was groping me but the truth is that his hand barely brushed my ass on accident while I was passing by him a few times. It wasn’t in your face or anything and I doubt anybody else noticed. Yet my brother kept cornering me away from my husband and complaining that it was inappropriate and telling me to ask him to stop. I was going to ask him once we were away from their friends but my brother wouldn’t stop asking me so I tried to tell my husband quietly while he was sitting with everybody.

Unfortunately, a few friends heard and made it into a bigger thing which my husband did encourage. In front of everybody my brother claimed it didn’t bother him when my husband asked him and he only laughed when my husband made a crude joke that I’m not going to repeat here.

To me, though, he’s been complaining that I did it on purpose to try to embarrass him and that I shouldn’t let my husband speak to me like that. I told him as my big brother he should stick up for me then but he keeps making excuses why he can’t say anything to him so I asked him if he was scared of my husband and he told me to fuck off.

AITA?
