But a couple of weeks ago she told me she's dating my big brother and I'm really not happy about it. I'm only related to my brother by adoption, NOT by blood in any way so my bio Mum isn't a relation of his and she hasn't watched him grow up or anything so it's not really weird for them. But I don't want them together because I do think of him as my brother and her as my sort of Mum. Am I being selfish? Reply to this Question Share |

There is little you can do about that and it isn't your business. Yes to you it is akward, but like you said it's ok with them. If they care for each other then it's up to them to decide if they want to be together. You can't decide whom everyone around you dates, no matter how uncomfortable the situation makes you.
What you should try and avoid however, is to be placed in the middle in case they have a fight, or to pick a side in any possible fight. You could also ask for them to be considerate as this is an awkward situation for you and ask them to be discrete around you.

If they love each other, you should not stop them .In a sense if you do stop them, you are being selfish. This is my own personal views only.
