My boyfriend and I have now been dating for 6 months, but any time I go to visit his family with him, his brother is there and it's incredibly awkward. It's gotten a little better in the last few weeks because his brother just came out of the closet 2 weeks ago, so I don't have to worry about him being jealous that his little brother ended up getting the girl, but there's still some kind of weird tension and potential jealousy all around. I've talked to my boyfriend about it, but should I talk to his brother as well? I just want to end the weird social tension.

 Who's feeling weird? You your bf or his brother?
Is it even remotely possible the "weirdness" is in your head?

I guess he was just experimenting with me. I think Giles may be right; we're both probably just embarrassed that it happened, especially since shortly afterwards he confessed he was interested in men. I suppose I shall bring up the topic with him sometime soon. It'll probably make us both feel better about the whole situation.
Thanks again!

 HI
If you think talking to his brother is going to help I cant see the harm in it, however it may be because his brother came out of the closet so to speak that your ego was a little bruised, so its possible you have a curious fasination with his brother now, is his brother gay or bi ? not that this matters, I only ask because if his bi this is where the jealousy all round could be playing its part. It is a horrible situation to be in im sure, but if your with his brother now and have been for 6 months and you still feel awkward, then maybe his also not the guy for you.
