My boyfriend is the youngest in his family I am oldest?

Question

Can it work long term as he alwayz wants his own way and can be like a spoilt brat! He is 21 and I am 22.

Answer 1

tell him it has to come to a stop and he has got to come down to your level we had the same problem with my mams hubby because he was a lonely child and is getting spoilt by his mum whilst my mum was in a family of 6

Answer 2

and you never want your own way or have you forgot its you who he wants his own way with coz he is sick of you always having it your way.

you both have to agree to meet half way if you can't then you will never last

Answer 3

I'm the oldest child in my family, my husband is the youngest.  However, he's 7 years older than I am.  

Maybe your boyfriend just isn't mature yet.  Perhaps nobody has ever told him that he can't have his way all the time.  Keeping an open line of communication is always the best idea.  Let him know when he's behaving like a brat.  I mean, I'd say it "nicer" than that, but let him know that a relationship is about compromise, and that you can't be the only one doing it.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Actually, according to a birth order  theory, the oldest sibling of one family should not go out with the eldest of another...its not like its forbidden or anything just that eldest siblings are usually more bossy than any of the other siblings. So it would make more sense for the eldest of one family to go out with the middle or youngest of another, for more harmony I guess :D

I find all this kinda stuff interesting, typing in birth order in google gives you loads of stuff! Apparantly eldest siblings are most likely to be in high paying careers, middle borns are most likely to be peace makers and youngest are more likely to be comedians lol strange stuff...
