When my hubby calls his brother ,he usually calls back within 24 hrs.Last time he called,I asked him something before I handed the phone over 2 hubby..when I was about to hand him over,he asked me a question(on a different subject) and it made our chat go l on about 10 minutes longer.I finally ended the conversation and apologized for hogging the phone before handing it to my hubby.Since then,his brother no longer calls him back and He has to call him in order to talk. I always hand the phone right over or my hubby answers...the two times this has happened,it's because his brother dragged the conversation out by asking me questions or switching the subject to something else..........Hubby was complaining that brother doesn't return his calls anymore.......What could be the reason for his change in behavior?..Should I have apologized when it was him that caused me to stay on the phone longer?

It sounds like you already apologized for something you couldn't control. Your husband's brother is probably dealing with something ro the brothers had a slight difference fo opinion. Stay out of the middle and you won't find yourself there. Asking your brother-in-law a question doesn't make him not call. And your husband sounds like he is curious enough to wonder why his brother isn't calling, but not curious enough to just come out and ask him himself. Let them work it out, trust me siblings don't need referees for our arguments. In fact we tend to turn on them collectively.

Maybe brother is afraid hubby is jealous of your friendship with him. Even if there's nothing going on , he may think hubby thinks so. Maybe he's afraid to call because he may find himself in conversation with you and doesn't want to cause any trouble by doing so. Some guys get really jealous even if theres no reason. Brother has known hubby longer , maybe he just knows when to back off or maybe hubby told him to back off when you were not around! Ahhhh... Who the hell really knows what men think and why.

Since I have no idea what the family dynamics are...of say, before you had gotten married to your hubby...I can't say...but, maybe it is the brother....If I were you,....just don't get on phone any more..hand the phone to your hubby, right away.(only say" hi,and just a minute...I'll go get him."...) Then you can see if the problem gets any better or more improved.
