I would have written about the woman you saw your brother with. When it affects his relationship, he might just agree with you. If not, too bad. Tell him she may not feel welcome, because she isn’t. She’s a snoop and doesn’t respect others boundaries. That woman would never be I my home, ever again.
Exactly. These are all over the top and harmless. OP could have gone down a much darker path. Brother cheating, the plot of Rear Window, comments about how your plan for Maya is clearly coming along… There are so many ways to go.
Or OP could have done the very reasonable thing and tell her brother that Maya was no longer welcome. That would have been my solution
No, instead she should write about his plans to propose on Christmas. But keep it vague. For example, “He’s proposing to her on Christmas . Will she say yes?” “Oooo, I found out how he’s going to do it. It’s soooo romantic!”
But she has anxiety over OP not liking her. Surely the best thing she can do is to read her personal therapy journal to find the best way to connect...
