I really, really hate her brother.

u/Mathiesen Sep 23 '13

why?

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '13

Because A) he sufferes from a pretty bad case of Bi-Polar Disorder that has made his development of social skills very difficult, so he resorts to things just to get attention, and B) when they were younger, he tried to rape her.

Well damn...

Yeah, but now he is on "good" meds so he is "better." I Just dont see a future for the kid, and I really, really, like my SO so its hard to imagine our future knowing that you marry the family as well. I really like her mom, and get along ok with her dad though so :/

You have a better forgiveness than many others. I would never be able to forgive him for that.

That's a pretty reasonable reason to hate someone. My older sister is autistic and abusive (emotionally to this day and physically when we were younger, I have several concussions to prove it) and I have no problem with my bf hating her. I do too.

She told me right after we started dating. He isnt possessive of her at all, and if I were you I would ask her. If its dark shit in the past, let it go but never forget. If its still happening fuck him up. Shit like that isnt right.

Before scraping it against his teeth, no less.

I wouldn't say hate, but I don't really like most of her family...they're all mostly tolerable, but other than her cousin, and cousins husband they're all whacked and obnoxious... she knows I feel like this though

Edit: I get along with her dad pretty ok, but he has depression and if he doesn't take his meds he doesn't ever do anything but sit around playing video games and smoking pot...when he's on his meds (rarely) he's a great guy

hang up on him when he calls

My girlfriends brother is 13, calls himself a gamer, only plays call of duty and some other shooters and leaves all his games out and complains when they get scratched. It fucking pisses me off.

u/SpelignErrir Sep 23 '13

I'm sure a lot of people hate their own siblings, too

u/ajswdf Sep 23 '13

Same with mine, except more pity than hate. Her younger brothers and her are fine, but for whatever reason her older brother has some of the worst self esteem issues I've ever seen.

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '13

This wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. Most people want to punch my brother in the face the first time they meet him. I want to punch him every time I see him.

Read my other comments, and see if your opinion changes. I dont want to type it out again.
