My ex & I broke up a year ago & now I'm dating his brother. My ex has some idea about it but the rest of the family does not. My ex treated me terribly (abused me & cheated) but the family seems more concerned with his feelings about it than with his brother's happiness. (Typical dysfunctional family-protect the loser in the family and stunt the good son's happiness.)

 

The brother and I have been friends for a long time and we were never anything more, did not even consider being attracted to each other, until recently. This wasn't something we planned. But this is as bad as Romeo & Juliet because he is unwilling to come clean and tell his family he's dating me. He thinks they will never be ok with it & will disown him, and he constantly has to lie to them about where he is when he's with me. The weight of it is getting to him. I don't know how much longer this can go on. I don't even really care that I can't be around his family or that he isn't around mine. I can wait for all that.

 

But what kind of family would disown their son for dating their other son's ex girlfriend, when he treated me like crap & threw me away anyway? Is he just being overly dramatic and anxious about how they would react?

I would stay away tbh, and avoid that family and their drama:o

That sounds like a mess. I would stay away, also because it is kind of like when you're friend dates someone you used to date - it's not cool.
