There really is little more to add to the points raised. I have a young married friend who told me that he finds it awkward when his wife’s brother comes for a Shabbos meal with his wife. His brother-in-law is a very quiet guy whilst his wife is much more sociable and outgoing. He himself is also outgoing and his wife quieter. It usually ends up that he chats and laughs with his sister-in-law and the brother and sister smile quietly along. On occasion, the sister-in-law even prods her husband to say more and join in more…. He feels very uncomfortable about it. Anyone got advice?
