Ok here is the deal my husbands birthday is coming up on thursday, so his brother text me to see what I had planned well needless to say that we were texting eachother back and forth. Then my wanna be sister in law ( they arent married) text me saying what the he!! is so dam important that yall cant call eachother on the phone, so I told her what we were talking about and she was all mad she was like you wouldnt like for me to text alex (my hubby). I told her you gotta understand that david is my brother in law and if I wanna text him than I am. To make a long story short what would you have done?
I dont think I was wrong

Talking on the phone, e-mail, text messaging. They are all acceptable forms of communication. I didn't know one form or the other held different levels of importance. Apparently I have been under the mistaken impression that it was really all a matter of personal preference.
My way of thinking is if a person texts me, I reply with a text of my own. If a person e-mails me, then my reply is via e-mail, etc.
Just as a note on my personal preference, I don't routinely text message, or use texting for initiating a dialogue. But again, that is just my own personal preference. If a person were to text me, I certainly wouldn't take offence over it.
It sounds to me that your wannabe sister in-law is normally an angry person, who routinely makes mountains out of ant hills.
What would I have done? I would have said to her "Yeah, whatever!"
Cheers!

She's obviously feels threated by the two of u talking and might think you guys r doing something behind her back.Since u said they aren't married I don't think she needed to know the plans because it was between u guys cause your family.As long as your not texting him for anything other than that, then no I don't think your wrong.

Shes outta control. What is her malfunction. That brother N law of yours needs to put her on a leash. Ignore her. She has trust issues and if he goes thru w/the marriage..watch out..it wont be boring in that family..LOL

You weren't wrong at all. People text each other because they don't know how long the conversation will last. If you knew you'd be constantly texting, you'd have called him. Since you didn't, she should lay off you.

I'd have 'wanted' to tell her to piss off. Hopefully you'd have handled it like I would have 'tried' to handle it though. Calmly. Telling her that you can text him, he's your brother in law, it's about your husbands birthday, and that it's stupid of her to go ape$hit over you two texting..

Exactly the same. And also, tell my brother in law to put on a leash where needed.

the only thing i would of done was told her that you were setting up a thing for you hubby b-day and testing his brother was the only way to keep it from your hubby.. and i think you where in the right..

You should tell his brother about the incidence and let him handle the situation for you.

You have not done anything wrong. Your BIL's gf is jealous. You have explained what you and your BIL are talking about which is all you needed to do.

Some people text and other people *****. It is up to each person on their preference!
