GuitarDude answered Wednesday July 7 2004, 8:03 pm:
Well, I believe that it was perfectly alright to say that in this situation. However, in other situations, I'm not quite sure that it would be appropriate.

You're boyfriend needed to know that he was lucky to have a brother. What you said "grounded" his ego and his circle logic (I only use this term because I do not know if he had a strong backing to the statement "I hate my brother"). And when I say grounding, I mean it in the sense that he now realized that it could be worse.

Still, I find it odd that he didn't know that your brother had died. I mean, I would think that your boyfriend might have known for that your brother died, but that's off subject.

I think that it was perfectly justified to say what you said. It seemed like he was getting angry at nothing, which is never good. However, I wouldn't use that as an answer to many conversations, but in this conversation, it's fine.

(By the way, I think it's really sweet that he called back. That was probably the best thing he could've said, since it's rather hard to apologize in that situation.)

I hope this helps!

honestly, you need to just tell him that he could be gone 2morrow! Being a sister or a brother is like the most important bond/friendship you can have! They are always going to be there for ya when other flake out....tell him that you didnt mean to rub it in his face but that he needs to aprreciate his brother because you never know what can happen. Tell him he is just really lucky, and it would be horrible to grow up and never have a bro to be friends with! i hope i helped and im relly sorry about your loss...xoxo

This guy sounds like he has some serious issues. Why does he despise his brother? To answer your question,no way you weren't wrong in saying that. A man's brother should be one of his closest friends. I bet his brother doesn't hate him. If he wants his own brother to die,what kind of thoughts do you think he has about you?

HELL NO THATS NOT WRONG! Seriously i knew this person that she told her sister or someone like that, that she hated them and she left.. and when she came home late that night, someone had burnt their house down and they were dead! Seriously it wasnt wrong at all you got your point acrossed! I hope he just understands it!

Aww well i think that he might be saying that because his brother might have done something to him .. but i dont think he fully knows what the definiton of hate is.. and its good you told him that because now he knows that some people dont have a brother or sister and hes lucky because he does.

Hey. No I dont think that was the wrong thing to say because it'll make him think twice about saying that he hates his brother. Because what would he do without his brother.. although they may not get along, he loves him. Because what happens if that happened to his brother. So it makes him think about it. Don't worry about it though!!!
*And sorry about your brother =(

xoxo Kourtney
