That's very big talk, considering this is the brother I've spent 18.5 years of my life practically following. He was the guy I did everything with, I was reluctant to play co-op games on my own without him, I didn't like competing with him on anything else but Mario Kart, and when we got a 1-player game, he was always the first to play it, which I didn't mind because it was fun to watch and listen to him make fun of random moments. Pretty much, he was like my best friend ever since I knew what a friend was.

Time goes on, and he meets somebody. I don't mind him having a girlfriend, I'm glad about it actually, but he's taking it way too far. Now that he has a girlfriend, he has absolutely nothing to do with anybody at home anymore. He never plays anything with me, he never watches TV with Dad, he never helps around the house...and it's thanks to that girl. Just today, he was reluctant to go to breakfast with our brother(and his wife) whe haven't been up here for three months, just because he wanted to go to his girlfriend's house. When he isn't at work, he's either out with her or sitting on his computer chatting with her on AIM. He never even bothers to bring her over for any reason. As a matter of fact, he prefers unhooking whichever console he pleases and taking it to her house instead of just bringing her over here to play it, which leaves me without said console to play for the whole day(and I usually have to hook it back up because he rarely plays anything now). There are only three reasons why I think he avoids taking her over here on a daily basis: He's embarrassed by us, he doesn't want her to see his pigstye of a room, or they're doing 'something.'

Hell, he barely plays games anymore. It used to be he'd buy a game, and he'll play through it. In the past two weeks, he has bought Street Fighter IV and Halo Wars, he has only played SFIV for 15 minutes and completed one level of HW so far. He much prefers playing games like "Redneck Minigame Jamboree" and MKWii at his girlfriend's house.

Last night, I overheard him talking to her on the phone about Paper Mario. His girlfriend has a Wii, this I know, so I assumed she was playing SPM. Today, I look in his room and see some drawings of characters like Chet Rippo(for some reason, he draws shit about what she's doing) and I began to suspect that a certain game I own is in someone else's hands. Lo and behold; the copy of Paper Mario TTYD I(specifically, I) got for Christmas a few years ago isn't in my room. I just love how he asked...and he still hasn't gotten MKWii back from one of his friends when he lent it to them 10 months ago.

To make things worse, I can't stand up to the shit because he basically owns everything I use in a pretty underhanded way. PS3? He bought it. 360? Technically, he owns both, since he replaced our 360 with an Elite console, while his old one sits in the basement. Wii? Still have my share in it, at least. Not to mention, his computer and laptop beat the shit out of my rundown piece of crap, so I rely on those if I actually want to do something on the computer nowadays.

So yeah, I actually wanted to know I'm right in all of this, or if my despising him is irrational. Thoughts?

Oh, and perhaps it's worth noting that she has been his girlfriend for only like 2 months.

That really sucks. If he's such a douchebag, I suggest you find some way to break them up, if you have the guts.

I also think that maybe his girlfriend isn't real. If you've never seen her, or anything, ever think he's IMing with someone else? Or talking on the phone to no one/one of his friends? Or just bringing the console to someone else's house? He could just be faking this. (I doubt it, though)

I think you should talk to your parents, and try to get him a psychologist, or something. He shouldn't be spending this much time with this girl, especially if it means he shirks responsibilities.

I have nothing against him having a relationship. I'm just pissed at the fact that he pretends his family doesn't exist anymore.

And yes, I'm pretty sure she's real, because I hear the woman's voice through the phone when I'm sitting in his room, I see him on her myspace all the time, he always has the AIM convo going, and there's the fact that my mother has seen her at Target.

Well, I'd be a dick to him just to get even. I'd snatch everything of his, take stuff of his, and maybe, be a dick in general. But that usually doesn't end well. I'd say just confront him one day, and calmly ask about everything. And maybe talk with your parents as to what you (and they) should do.

O_O Sounds somewhat familiar. Maybe you're just pissed off that he's moving on in life, and is straying from video games, which you are either jealous, or don't want to be loney when he's gone. Lol, but I'm sure that's not the case. I actually understand the fact of him being embarrassed about you, and wants to pretend you don't exsist. Makes sense. I guess people overlook things too much when they get a girlfriend.

1) He's 20.

2) That is not the case. The reason I'm pissed is because he pretty much avoids everybody for some girl he met in December, and because he feels the right to give away my things to said girl. My mother actually had to go get MKWii back from the person who had it, and it has been gone for about a year. In other words, I don't think I'll be seeing my copy of TTYD anytime soon.

its...

not like you'll be playing it? Oh well?

Just because he loves this girl, and wants to spend his time with her doesn't mean you should be pissed. I realize that he's 'avoiding' you, and your family, but...really. Maybe he's just tired of the same old thing. Maybe his girlfriend gives him more enjoyment then you guys. Your brother loves you, and your family, but seriously, you just gotta let go.

Dude, every chance he gets, he takes our mother's car and goes to her house(less than 5 mins away) all day. He's been out since 11AM yesterday, it's 12:19 now and he still isn't home. Neutral

Not sure if I mentioned this, but our brother and his wife came up for the weekend from Virginia. He lives a good 3 hours away and hasn't visited since Xmas. Jon spent pretty much the entire time at his girlfriend's house. Sunday morning, our brother offered to take the whole family to breakfast before they left. He was reluctant as all hell to go because he told his girlfriend he'd be at her house in the morning. My brother had to pretty much beg for him to go for breakfast. Even if it was a somewhat annoying relative, he should be able to set aside a whole 20 minutes for him. Again, I don't care about him being in love, I just can't stand the fact that it has developed into an unhealthy obsession.
