After eighteen years with my one and only brother I have realized that we definitely have our ups and downs. In our younger years we fought back and fourth constantly, but as we grew up we shifted closer and closer together. After he realized that he was the cool older brother and I just constantly wanted to hang out with him and his friends because I loved him, he didn't mind too much when I was constantly by his side. (Of course there was a little coaxing by my parents and his friends!) Don't think that everything was perfect after that though, we still pushed our limits with each other a little too far sometimes and get irritated for stupid reasons, but that's what brothers and sisters do right? As we reached our teenage years dating began which interfered with the relationship with my brother and I. He would get mad at me for becoming friends with his girlfriends and he would get very protective with my towards my boyfriends, but that all changed. The one girl that he stayed with for about three years became a huge wedge between him and I. Eventually we did get over it after he broke up with her, but it was weird. Now things have completely twisted all over again. While dating my now ex boyfriend, my brother was friends with my ex, but they weren't close, but now that we are broken up my brother seems to want to be best friends with him. They have become completely inseperable and it is rediculous. I got a phone call from my dad while at work warning me that my ex was at my house drinking with my brother, needless to say I did not return home until very late that night. My brother has been completely unresponsive and childish towards me, he has apparently disowned me because of my curent boyfriends past, which is just that, his past. So as of now we are not on speaking grounds and it is very disturbing since he has been my lifetime best friend and I don't know what to do.

Brother Issues

ReplyDeleteMy brother and I have had falling outs through the years. But the good seems to always outweigh the bad. Keep this in mind no matter what is happening. -Kevin
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel, i have an older brother too. But i've come to relise that no matter how much we argue and fight were stiil there for each other in the end. I'm sure you and your brother will patch this up soon
ReplyDeleteThat really sucks, my brother got so mad when I didn't like one of his girlfriends, he didn't say a word to me for weeks. And now were really close, and sometimes you just have to ride out the bad, he can only be that way for so long because in the end you're the only one who has been there and will be there forever. It'll get better :)
