A small weird problem with my brother

Question

But he does it when we are with other people too. He is very touchy-feely all the time anyway and it doesn't bother me when we are by ourselves. But it does bother me in public - because I don't know anyone else who does that (siblings I mean) and I don't want people to think we are weird.

We are very close and can talk about everything - but somehow I just can't tell him to stop doing that in public. I don't want to hurt his feelings.

He has a girlfriend who adores him but he still always comes to me and gives me a hug and says things like ''how's my beautiful sister today''

So, how do I get him to stop all that, but without hurting him and without making him stop alltogether?

He is 17, I am 16.

Answer 1

if something doesn't feel right, you just stop it. period.

Answer 2

You need to realize that he really loves you. And let me tell you I would do the same If I had a sister except for in public. What you need to do is sit him down and talk to him sister to brother and ask him to stop doing it in public. Say something like "I know that you love me with all your heart, but I would really appreciate it if you would stop showing it in public" Repeat if necessary. And then show him the love that he has showed you walk up to him (Not in public) and hug him and say "How's my handsome brother today?”. Trust me it may feel a little awkward at first but it will make him love you even more.

God Bless

Answer 3

You just confront him. He is just being a big brother(a GOOD one, too) I sure he would understand if you explain it to him. Although, I think it's really sweet.  

Answer 4

Annie never put your feelings before some else. You are going to have to tell him that you prefer he he doesn't touch you so much in public. You could tell him that people are starting to talk about it and those people think it's weird. Make sure to tell him that you love him very much and you don't mind when he does this in your home.

Answer 6

how long as he been doing this?  cause he should grow out of it but if he doesn't then since you two can talk about anything make this a anything and say to him i wonder if people get the wrong idea about us just a way to start a conversation about it and then suggest to him maybe we should pretend we hate each other when people are around.

Answer 7

The two of you are old enough to talk over things.  This is a simple thing.  Just tell him you feel uncomfortable about it.  That's it.

Don't make a big deal about it, BABY!
