ashley72600 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) My little brother is 13 years old and he hates my boyfriend, we can call my boyfriend Sam for the sake of this post. We are only a couple years older than him so there isn't a huge age gap. We've been together for two years now and Sam makes me incredibly happy and I love him a lot but it's hard to enjoy bringing him around because my brother is rude to him and even when Sam isn't around, my brother makes it a point to say "Oh Sam isn't going is he?" or things of that nature. I have never been close with my brother so I doubt it is him being jealous or an attention thing. I have tried talking to my brother about why he is so mean and he says "I hate your d***ish boyfriend" but Sam has never been mean to him before, in fact he's tried many times to be friends (i.e. playing basketball or video games, making conversation, etc.) but nothing works for him. I know that my brothers opinion shouldn't really be such a big deal when I can see that he's being bitter and I know that I am happy with Sam but it still hurts that he acts the way he does for seemingly no reason. Does anyone know why he's so rude or why he feels the need to hurt me and my boyfriend? Edited August 10, 2017 by ashley72600 Link to post Share on other sites
Whodatdog Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 He's 13. He barely has a brain. Just ignore him. Sounds like he's jealous of the attention Sam is getting. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Rockdad Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I've raised 3 boys. It sounds like just a little brother thing to me. I doubt this is the only thing he does to irritate you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mikeylo Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Don't bring your brother around your bf. Sam doesn't deserve to be ill treated by a bitter boy because Sam likes you ! Yeah, ignore him and tell him to mind his own business. Link to post Share on other sites
anduina Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Maybe ask him why he dislikes your boyfriend instead of asking why he's being so mean. This distinction might be meaningful. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
