Is this a good idea? me/brother/bro's girlfriend?

Question

we are all going out this weekend to the movies and then maybe to get something to eat. i kinda wanted it to be me and my brother but i didn't wanna say that in fear of him saying "no". I'm 23, my bro and his girlfriend are 17. its just some bonding time. i'm excited cause we don't spend time together. i've been asking for a while now to hang out with him and now he has a new girlfriend. so he's very excited bout that. lol i understand teenagers go through their own stuff, but should i be worried? should i continue to be happy and just enjoy myself. what are the pro's and con's of hanging with your brother and his girlfriend. i over think things a lot i know. please only positive feedback please thanks!

Answer 1

The cons are them paying more attention to each other and leaving you out of the loop. My brother is 28 years old and still does that, you think he would mature with age. lol

Hopefully since you guys are going out that won't be a problem. I suggest that next time, tell him that you want to have a "guys" night and see if you can't get him alone to spend time with him. Maybe if the outing with all 3 of you goes really good, he'll be more apt to accept a guys night invite.

Answer 2

I'd go along with them if I were you.You could always bow out gracefully if the evening isn't going well.Good you understand he's young and doesn't think right now the way you do at 23.Spend time with him whenever you get chance under whatever circumstances.He will grow up and that will make a big change for both of you.I have 2 sons who are 9 yrs. apart in age.They went through these same kinds of things.Now they're both grown men and very close to each other.You just gotta put up with the silly teen yrs.lol.
