It's an interesting dynamic, boys and their sisters/mothers.
I used to help coordinate weddings for my church and hands down the worst, most difficult, most insulting people in the wedding party were almost always the groom's mother and/or sister. Always.
My opinion (not that you asked) is that it's 100% a jealousy thing. It wouldn't matter who you are or what you do or don't do. If you weren't affectionate with each other she'd find fault with that, too.
My advice is to always be the nice one and let RM fight the battle with her. It's his responsibility to establish the boundaries with his family regarding his relationship with you. If he's firm they will eventually have to accept it and they will see that you really are good for each other.
So LM rears her ugly head...again. This happens everytime you and RM are together. Frankly, this has nothing to do with you, it's about her and her brother. You two have approached this relationship in a much better way than before, it's working so much better for you, and she's feeling threatened. Plus she's in a bad relationship herself. Her problems ARE NOT yours. You've always been a toucher, I'm a toucher, don't stop...it's your connection with people and in this instance it's your connection with RM.
You are never going to please everyone and RM will soon find this out...but if he wants to live with you as a boyfriend/husband then he needs to set you as a priority. LM will see him take a stand and either back-off or ostracize herself. You shouldn't have written that email so maybe an apology is in order, but as to the rest...it's a relationship of 2 first and the remainder of the family next.
Thank so much for the great advice you two. Thankfully RM reassured me again today that I didn't do anything wrong. We are getting along really well but the true test is if we ever get to live together (My mothers suggestion).
