If so, why?
Iβve always given my younger brother a few dollars of my monthly allowance because of our not so good home life. Mostly for snacks and things. Sometimes I canβt do this because of how tense the situation is. So I tell him to save up the few dollars I do give him as a whole so he can start buying his own stuff.
So I got my little school money and found him telling him I wanted to go to the store after school today. I give him a few dollars and go back to my table. Only I see him sneakily try to give the money to a girl he has a crush on. She has a boyfriend. She wouldnβt like him. Thereβs nothing wrong with him she just isnβt his type. Sheβs told me so. I blew up at him in front of people and I did expose that some nights he goes hungry because he doesnβt know how to save money(people called me a jerk for this because I gave him a gift expecting gratitude)
The girl gave the money back to him and told him not to give her money anymore. Heβs embarrassed because of what I said. Iβve tried to stop giving a fuck about how my parents screwed us over with their choices but I wasnβt really caring about that because I wasnβt in a preppy school where everyone had enough to eat and I was the odd one out. Everyone at my school has shit going on and itβs just normal to have shit going on. However he says he didnβt want her to think he was poor and unable to provide for her. I called him a fucking Simp. I said this because heβs giving her money and bringing her gifts knowing she has a boyfriend(theyβre βoff and onβ) and saying he wants to pursue her. But she doesnβt think about him like that. He said he didnβt expect anything out of it but he clearly is infatuated with her and isnβt doing it because sheβs his friend. He does expect something and it hurts him when he sees she is still with her boyfriend. I called him a Simp to lighten the mood and get across that I wasnβt angry at him just frustrated.
He told our mom about what I did and she tried to take the money altogether. I barely kept it safe.
My friends say Iβm a bad person for trying to make him grow up to fast. That I should just let him be a kid for as long as he can. I get that they donβt understand my situation but Iβm not anyoneβs mother. I stepped up to care for these kids because no one else. When they are old enough to know how to do it themselves Iβm going to let them. Donβt depend on others especially if they show you they arenβt dependable. You need to be able to take care of yourself. I kno

Okay so basically Iβm a genderqueer afab teen (16) and my brother is a straight cisgender almost adult (17 almost 18). At the beginning of fall semester this year, I met a gorgeous girl in one of my classes. Sheβs smart and funny and adorable and sweet. Perfect girl. But I assumed she was straight as she was fairly religious and I only knew of ex boyfriends. I abandoned my crush for the most part because I though she was straight and that was that. A few months later, I learn that my brother is going out on dates with her and then they started dating. I was kind of shocked and a little jealous, but theyβre cute together and itβs all good. Today, I messaged her that itβs so hilarious that I liked her previously but then she started dating my brother so Iβm not interested anymore (to not scare her) but she actually came out to me and told me she had broken up with her ex-gf a week or so before going out with my brother. She also told me she thought I was cute when we met. Honestly, FML. This girl might just become my SIL in the future.

This is more so a vent post. I just needed to get this out.
My brotherβs best friend since kindergarten is also Filipino like us, and is so fucking adorable and hot at the same time. I literally get the most clichΓ© crush and butterfly in stomach feelings that you can throw into a manga and it would fit.
Even after all these years, I still do find my self attracted to him.
But I can never have him, I know that. Still it cuts deeper than any physical wound ever could.
And I would know. After having my ankle semi fractured I would still take that physical pain over what I feel emotionally.
She didnβt take it well lol

My brother and I used to be so close. My older siblings are 8 and 10 years older than me but he and I were close when I was a teen because maturity wise we were the same age lol we both partied and even shared apartments and houses (always the party pad) but as I got older and got my sh*t together I grew, I actually went to college and therapy and dealt with the trauma from our childhoods/teens (we lost a sibling to a shooting when I was 14) My daughter identifies as pan (she/her) and has been βdatingβ this cute little girl (im using quotes because theyβre 13 and they really just see each other at school and hold hands) well at Xmas my niece told my daughter she told her parents that she had a crush on her best friend who is a girl. She said they stared at her then burst into laughter. She pretended to laugh too then ran out of the room. Ive tried to make sure to text her a lot and we share a love of Supernatural (Dean right?) and haunted places and sheβs a LOT like me so we get a long great but the fact that he laughed at her disappointed me so much. I encourage my daughter to text her more so she knows she has someone to talk to that understands but wtf do I do?!? Iβm not supposed to know this and my brother is full on drinking all the Fox News koolaide so I feel like if I bring it up itβs going to be like arguing with a misinformed wall. How can I help my niece? TIA Much love π
So me (F15) and my brother (M16), we will call him Stan, got into a huge fight recently. Stan and his best friend, we will call him Dudley (M16), walked into me and my boyfriend kissing.
That by itself was bad enough- your brother and your long time crush (long story don't ask) walking in on you. I tried to brush it off but then Stan started going into over-protective brother mode saying he doesn't want me kissing in public. It was very hypocritical of him considering he turns into a horny git around our (soon to be) sister-in-law. We said horrible things to each other during the fight. Curse words were used and I am pretty sure that Stan tried to say that others would think of me as a sl*g though he never got that word out.
I lost it and said that the only reason he has a problem is because out of our friend circle only he is the immature and inexperienced one and everyone including his crush (F16), we will call her Penelope, has kissed someone. Now, bit of a backstory, Stan and Penelope have been best friend for years and crushed on each other for just as long but never took a step further. It is so infuriating to see them two dancing around each other. There is a secret betting pool among the whole school on when these two will get together.
However me revealing that Penelope has already kissed someone seems to have set off a huge fight between the two. Stan started ignoring her and treating her with cold indifference. And to top it off, this last weekend after winning a match he kissed some other girl in front of everyone.
Penelope is understandably very upset about all of this and she spent that night crying to me. I feel very guilty about all of this as I have not yet told her that I was the catalyst for my brother turning into a wanker overnight. Penelope has always been sort of a big sister to me and helped me deal with personal issues (involving Dudley).
It doesn't seem that my brother and Penelope will end their fight before Christmas.
TL;DR- Me and brother got in a fight. I revealed that his crush kissed someone and now both of them are not talking to each other.
AITA in all of this?
Oh so sad big sad
I just discovered this sub and wanted to share a pretty disturbing story my brother and I had driving to a friends house in our neighbour village.
The friend invited us to chill out in his apartment with a bunch of other buddies and we had nothing to do anyway so we decided to drive to him. It was almost in the middle of the 10km distance between our two villages, I am driving with high-beam because the road is very dark and not illuminated. Out of a sudden I saw a men standing on the street with a seemingly pretty bad head injury holding his hand infront of his eyes because my lights are blinding him. While approaching this men we saw 2 other men sitting on the autumn foliage right by the road seesawing their upper bodies also with head and torso injuries. I emergency breaked the car and this men standing approached us while my brother started panicking and told me I should reverse asap. It didnβt feel like a normal situation after a possible car accident or anything similar, it was like this guys were βchillingβ there on purpose. While I reversed he started running and yelled: βYou should drive slowly, we are here!β I turned the car and drove back home, shocked and confused.
My brother called the police to check what was going on with this 3 men but we never heard anything about it after this pretty disturbing incident.
This is a REPOST. I am NOT the original poster!

Mood: >!daww!<
We come from a conservative East Asian family. My brother came out years ago but my parents reacted so badly he basically went back into the closet. This was all before I was born.
4 years ago, my parents moved back to our home country as their business was doing better there and left my brother and I with my older brother and we've been doing great. I only ser my parents twice a year.
He's also started to "come out" again and my parents don't do anything because they are too far away and also they don't want to ruin our education or income by having my brother refuse to take care of us so they pretend not to know.
My brother and I are supportive though.
The thing is, there's a little Asian cafe that opened up at the start of last year and it's got all kinds of handmade Asian sweets and pastries both traditional and fusion. It's run by a brother and sister and the brother is the baker/barista and he's gay.
My brother has a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge crush on him. I know because we got to the cafe every Saturday morning for family breakfast and they always make heart eyes at each other and smile a lot.
The sister also always makes her brother serve mine when he comes in every day and is always talking up her brother to mine. We all go to the cafe every day, my older brother every day before work and us after school and I think they really like us because they give us extra snacks and stuff.
My brother and I also talk up our older brother to her brother but none of them have made a move.
His sister has also told us that her brother has a crush on ours.
Chinese New Year is coming around soon and I'm wondering if my brother and I should invite them around since their family is also overseas? My oldest brother normally makes a traditional dinner. The sister has said that they don't have any plans for Chinese New Year.
And my brother's crush has offered to give me the recipe to make Chinese New Year desserts, can I or my brother invite him over to our house for "help" when my oldest brother will be around? He's offered teach me to make them anyway.
Or should I leave it?
TLDR: Should I invite
... keep reading on reddit β‘β¦what is the age difference between you and your childhood celebrity crush?
So my best friend letβs call her Michelle, Iβve known her since kindergarten. Sheβs a year older than me (19) and then her younger brother is my age (18). Iβd never do anything to ruin our friendship or make my relationship between her brother and I weird so Iβm probably never going to act on anything.
That being saidβ¦ I have dreamt about this man so much within the past 4 years oh my goodnessβ¦
Heβs like REALLY handsome like Prince Charming Tik tok white big of the month type attractive. Heβs athletic and really extroverted and such a sweet guy while also a bit of a dick (he teases me when I see him which isnβt often). Thatβs never been my type though lol. I think I have a crush on him because Iβm not close with him and donβt know him well enough, I project anything I want onto him but also him and I snap randomly so itβs not like I DOnt know him at all because Iβve also known him since kindergarten. Heβs just the type of guy to smile at you and know what heβs doing- it makes me physically uneasy whenever he does cause I get so nervous and Iβm not myself. I always say really stupid shit around him and donβt understand why I canβt just be normal lol.
End of whatever this was. Heβs hot and a nice person what more could a person want?
heya, i know this might not sound the most cheerful of posts on this subreddit, but my crush is acting cold and distant towards me. me and him are very close friends and we usually text each other and he's usually very nice to me but for the past few days he's just been a bit mean to me when i try to talk with him. i'm not stressing out about it, i'm just confused why he's being like this; did i say something wrong? did he find out something about me he didn't like? did something happen in his personal life? i really don't know. i just hope he's ok and i hope our connection can return to normal.
