They are only a few years apart but I think that I'm going to have difficulity. He constantly mentions moving in together but am i wrong for not wanting his brother to take this big step with us? To me thats just not how thigs work. What do I do? Should i consider getting a place on my own till he's ready? - Bothered by Brother Reply to this Question Share |

I know that he is scared that he'll leave him stranded - but he does so much for him...will I ever see a change? Am I wrong for putting my foot down and not agreeing to move in with him untill his brother is all set? THANK YOU for the quick response too!!!!

Maybe he feels protective of his brother for whatever reason - perhaps an experience in the past that brought them close together or exposed his brother as vulnerable? Talk to him about it, that's the only way any of this is going to get sorted, there may be more to this than you think there is.. or perhaps there isn't; but you need to find out. Hope it all works out for the best. :] x
