Man tells brother that he isn’t allowed to meet his GF because he’s afraid that she’ll leave him for his brother.

In a recent family dispute, a 19-year-old man (referred to as OP) has taken a firm stance against his 22-year-old brother’s behavior regarding relationships. Both brothers work at the same factory and became friends with a 23-year-old woman who, after losing her apartment, moved in with them. While the woman and the older brother were developing a potential exclusive relationship, OP developed feelings for another woman, a 20-year-old who also worked at the factory. Despite knowing of OP’s feelings, the older brother pursued and eventually began an exclusive relationship with her, leaving the initial woman behind. This repeated pattern led OP to believe that his brother is intentionally pursuing women he likes.

OP’s brother has previously engaged in similar behavior, dating women OP had feelings for and then leaving them behind. This pattern of behavior has led OP to suspect his brother’s intentions are not accidental. When OP informed his brother of his new girlfriend, he made it clear that his brother would not be introduced to her, fearing that his brother might attempt to make a move on her, which OP believes would be disrespectful and uncomfortable for his new partner.

The brothers have a history of rivalry, with OP feeling that his brother’s actions are part of a larger pattern of trying to outdo him. OP’s decision to exclude his brother from meeting his new girlfriend is driven by his concern for his girlfriend’s comfort and respect for the relationship. His brother’s reaction—crying and expressing hurt—was met with OP’s decision to walk away, leaving a strained situation between the two. OP’s stance reflects a broader issue of sibling rivalry and respect within their relationship dynamics.
