Well my brothers girlfriend is like, a total whore. And I'm not just saying that. I have a really strong hunch that she also likes my brothers best friend. (Whom I like, but that means nothing.) The other day, he was here, and she came over, even though my brother was sleeping. Then she went out to get ice cream with him, and didn't ask my brother to go. THEN, she asked him to visit her when she goes on vacation, and not my brother. I realize that this shouldn't be any of my business, but I find it ridiculous that he's still with her when she's already cheated on him once. Plus, my older brother who's 9 years older than me told me that he heard some stuff about her from some people that he didn't like too much, and he'd have to have a talk with the other brother. I know they must have had that talk by now, and I know that he looks up to him, but they still haven't broken up. Even if she is on vacation. Really, I just don't know what to do. I need help. I hate the girl and I don't want to kill her, so I need ways to:
1) Not kill her.
2) Get my brother to break up with her.
Once a cheater always a cheater.

We were talking about boys and relationships and she told me if you ever found him cheating once, NEVER to take him back because he's just going to do it again, and I agree. I think you should talk to your brother about it. Tell him everything you just told us. Tell him you don't like or trust her and you don't want to see him get hurt.
lostinpraise answered Saturday July 15 2006, 6:56 am: Ok first up, I don't believe "once a cheater, always a cheater." Everyone deserves another chance. No-one is perfect, and we all rely on forgiveness from friends and family at some point.
Anyways, in your situation, I see how hard it is for you to trust her... You obviously feel protective of your brother and don't want to see him get hurt. In any situation, communication seems to work best. I think there are a few options here...
1) Talk to your brothers friend. He might be completely shocked to hear you say that your brothers girlfriend might like him! He'll be loyal to your brother if they're mates, so will most likely do his best to stay out of her way. Alternatively, he might get all defensive and tell you to keep your nose out or something, in which case you could be more suspicious that somethings going on between them. In this case, I would say then go back to you older brother and tell him what you have found out.
2) Talk to your brother yourself. If both his siblings have talked to him about this, he might listen more. Just be calm with him, don't make any accusations, tell him exactly what you think, and that you realise you might not know the whole picture, but this is what it seems to you.
3) Talk to the girlfriend. Again, try not to get angry with her, although she will be angry with you. Just express your point of view and ask her for an explanation. Be aware that if you choose this option, your brother may well be angry with you when he finds out.
orphans answered Wednesday July 12 2006, 7:29 pm: I think the best thing for you to do is stay out of it, but still help him out a little bit. Try asking him something like "oh are you going to visit ______(his girlfriends name) when she's on vacation like ______(his best friends name) is?"
Otherwise you should just stay out of it..you might be assuming things that aren't real. Like going out to get ice cream WITHOUT your brother..thats not that big of a deal. And try finding out if your brothers friend is going to be NEAR where your brothers girlfriend is going on vacation..that may be the reason she asked him to visit her..because she wanted someone to hang out with. If there is something going on...cheating or not..let your brother find out for himself.
Good Luck [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
more_than_a_feeling answered Wednesday July 12 2006, 6:27 pm: Your brother will make his own decisions about his relationships, as will you. I totally understand your concern for him and I agree, she sounds like a skank. But once I stuck up for my sister in one of her relationships and it turned out disastrously. So try to keep out of it. Tell your brother how worried you are about him and your opinion of his girlfriend but don't try to influence his decisions because he'll probably get pissed at you.

Altruistic answered Tuesday July 11 2006, 10:45 pm: Uh... you definitely don't want to kill her. it's a capital offense (or whatever it was)... you should definitely talk to your brother about it. Since you ARE his sister and you're looking out for him, he might listen to you. so it'll definitely be a good idea to tell him.
also, since your other brother already talked to him, he should be more inclined to do something about it since you also realized shes not as great as she seems and it's more than one person now. If your brother doesnt listen, you and your other brother should use peer pressure! But then again, you can always be so rude and annoying that she'll break up with him to get away from you... but that ought to be a last resort or something. :) hope i helped, if not, feel free to message me!
