writes: My older brother keeps giving me advice about relationships. My first serious relationship ended in October, only it didn't really end because we were sex buddies for a month and then we kept talking and flirting and meeting up and fooling around, most recently 2 weeks ago. My brother hates my ex, he knew him before I did as they were at college together and my brother had heard awful things about womanizing, STIs, abortions, cocaine and general appauling behaviour, most of which was true. Throughout my relationship my brother was constantly trying to get me to end it, even though he could see that my man had matured and that we were madly in love. I was talking to my brother yesterday about my ongoing situation with my ex, and he told me he was in the exact same situation when he was my age which is why he's so concerned about it all. The girl he was with was a bit crazy but they loved eachother to death, and even now 2 or 3 years later my brother still considers her to be his soul mate, and they're still pretty close even though they're both in relationships. I don't understand why they're not together if he knows he feels this way. Is this a normal thing? Surely if you know you're made for eachother then you should be together? That's why my ex and I are where we are now, we both know we're perfect for eachother but for some reason neither of us want a relationship with the other. It doesn't make any sense!

Second off; why is it a problem that neither of you want a relationship? I can see your point that you're confused but is it sometihng that is really a problem? If neither of you want a relationship then that shouldn't be a problem.
Perhaps, deep down, you know you two are only close friends; because that's probably the case if neither of you want a relationship =]
