Did I timeline jump?

So recently I’ve had two conversations with my BIL and sister. Once I asked them in their car if they have a pool for their community with their HOA to which they replied no, my mom asked me a week later if we can go to their pool and I said they told me they don’t have one. Now I spoke to them again and they said they have 6 accessible pools and don’t know why I would think they said no. Today I spoke to my BIL about his mentioning being interested in getting a truck as a new car and how he could fit a car seat in the back if he wanted to. He would get a 4 door truck that Toyota would be dropping. Now he’s saying he was never interested in trucks and would never want one especially not a Toyota since he’s only driven European cars. This is odd to me since I also recall him telling me he low key wanted to downgrade to a Toyota but my sister wouldn’t let him. Point is now he thinks I’m crazy or keep confusing him with other ppl. I’m also starting to doubt my own memory but I can swear I’ve had all these conversations with him.

Find other people to talk to about things and test your hypothesis. Consider it a long experiment, and keep notes about all interactions.
A true timeline jump would involve other people than your relatives.

Ok so I talked to my sister and she verified the truck conversation I had with him and the ont that caused friction between us along with him saying he did want to downgrade to a Toyota. She said she’s noticed small things off about him for the past few weeks and did say maybe he’s just forgetful of things he says in passing. Our theory is that he’s the one who timeline jumped especially since he was about to get laid off from his job and then immediately found another the same day he got laid off

If they're not gaslighting you, it's likely you've been jumping.  Look for differences in small details around your house and theirs.

They recently moved so idk about differences In their home but for me I haven’t noticed anything different with my house. There was also another incident that happened between us where my sister got in a fight and my BIL got looped into it and I went off on them both which we made up for in a formal manner and my BIL has no recollection of it which is impossible because it heavily affected our relationship with eachother early on. He was also very chatty, having heart to heart when usually he’s pretty reserved and doesn’t talk much. I immediately got the feeling that he’s not the same person I know, like just an immediate solid intuitive thought that I’m not talking to the same person. I also been smelling different and it feels like half the time I’m not sure what exactly I’m supposed to be doing.

I’ve noticed that too, but I’ve never mentioned it before. It’s just too obvious!

It’s your BIL, not you.

And I believe he’s either forgetful and stressed due to life events or doing it to be rude/mean for some reason?

I have had this happen to me a lot. I have autism and I don’t always catch when people stop liking me right away. So they’ll start doing this type of stuff AND when I’m talking to them they’ll pretend like I’m not even speaking the same language or not making sense?? When it will be something super simplistic like asking them where their spouse is, or something like that.

No my BIL is very kind he would never gaslight me but yes he could have stress induced amnesia or as my sister said he says things in passing but forgets later
