I tried talking to my brother about dating his friend, but he says its weird and stops talking about it. Actually, he stopped talking to me all together, for months. He only began talking to me again after I stopped seeing his friend.After confronting my brother about why he doesnt want me to date his friend, my brother just says, its because youre sooo much older (Im 4 1/2 years older) and its weird. I stopped talking to his friend for months, but missed him so much. My love and I have just started talking again last week. My brother doesnt know. I believe my brother is being immature, but Im torn between blood and the man I love. Any suggestions?

 Your brother is being immature. My husband is 4 years older than me so the age gap is no biggie. Tell your brother you are going to be with this man and that he needs to accept it. He will come around eventually.

2. At your age 4.5 years is fine... you're not 15!
3. If you love this man, go with it. He may be the one for you... which will mean that you'll all get to enjoy Christmas and Thanksgiving together for years!

 Your brother should not be a factor, he does not govern who you give your heart to, nor does he dictate who his friend falls in love with. You are free to love whomever you chose and if your brother has a problem with that, it's his own burden to bear, he simply must learn to live with it.
I hope that helps.
