Is it normal for me to desire my deceased boyfriends brother?

My boyfriend/daughters father died. His older brother and i were never close. He infact didn't like me. When the death occured i stayed with the family for a week. His brother and i would stay up and talk all night. He is very good with my baby. He is in college right now and invited me to stay with him a weekend. I keep getting this vibe that he has feelings for me. And so do i. I day dream about next weekend when i stay with him. I don't think i want to have sex with him but want to be close to him emotionally and sexually. Advice?

    That's pretty normal and natural. In fact, historically, in both European, American, and other cultures if there was an unmarried brother it was expected that he would marry his deceased brother's wife and be a father to his children.

    In fact, he would probably be one of the best choices (if not the best) for your daughter because he is blood related to her and will thus have a stronger interest and care for her, generally speaking, than some stranger. This has been proven fact in genetic studies; parents/grandparents who are closely related/who share a significant amount of genes with children/grandchildren are more likely to care and spend more time with them.

    Obviously I would try to take it slow and make sure he is actually right for you and looking to be a real husband and father. But if he is, he would perfect for you and your daughter's well being.

    I'm sorry for your loss, and I sincerely wish you the best. If things work out between you I'd love to here of your success with a follow-up comment.

    All the best,
    Julius E.

    be careful, in many cases, if you go so quickly, especially with your dead bfs brother, the family might not like it. if theyre ok with it though, then by all means.

      I know this post is 5 years old... but what's the update?? Are you still together? I'm doing research on this very topic. I think it's very normal and common for someone to gravitate to the sibling or best friend of a deceased loved one. I'd love to hear where you two are now!

    I didnt know sexuall feelings were a part of greiving do yourself a favor and don't even go there ...this might have been normal if a year or so had gne by but so soon nope its jus seeming desperate...have some respect for the dead.

  • i'd assume so because he may bring feelings of your deceased bf but i wouldn't recommend acting on it. Give it some time damn. You may be subconsciously looking to rebound.

      Jesus fucking Christ.

      Your crush has a boyfriend and you lash out at everybody and talk about killing yourself?

      Stop being such a raging pussy and stand the fuck up.

      Pathetic.

    IIN for me to want to drive my neighbors car? I have my own car, and it's a lot newer and in far better shape then his. His is actually fairly old actually and in bad condition. I don't normally get urges to drive other people's cars, but for some reason I just want to take his and drive it around the block three or four times. I'm not sure yet if part of me wants to smash it into a tree, I like the guy, so I'm not sure that's part of it. I may think on it a bit more and decide if it is also my desire to trash his car and bash in the front end on something. Anyways, any advice out there?

    Its very natural for you to be attracted to him for a few reason. He's human contact after a traumatic experience. Any person would seek some sort of comfort or consolation after such a thing happened to them. He was readily available after your boyfriend died so it was probabaly an inevitablity that you two would be somewhat together.

    Also being his brother is can be a subtle signal that he has a family resemblance. If he looks in any way at all you may not notice you are attracted to him since it will be a subconcious trigger.

    I'd talk to him first. Discussion and knowing eachother feelings before anything goes any further is always a good step. Hope all is well.
