friday hax chat q: she and hubby were at HER sister's house to watch a movie. during the movie, hubby starts to massage the sister's head

TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT

My husband and I were at my sister and her husband's house watching tv. My husband was sitting at one end of a long couch, and my sister was laying with her head towards the middle. I looked over and saw that my husband was massaging my sister's head. I know I stared for a good minute because it was so unexpected, looked at my brother-in-law to see if he noticed (he didn't), and then finally asked him what he was doing. My sister didn't say anything, and my husband kept doing it while making some sort of smart remark that I can't remember. He then said he'd stop if I wanted him to. I just looked at him with what I'm sure was a flabbergasted look, and he stopped. I felt that it was an intimate gesture, and highly inappropriate between a sister and brother-in-law. I don't think I'm overreacting, but don't have the slightest idea how to address it with my husband or sister. I'm more upset at my husband for some reason. I'm sure the fact that my husband makes little or no effort to be romantic or tender with me plays into this, but isn't the whole reason I'm upset. I'd love to hear from the peanut gallery on this.
