I have a older brother and he has 2 kids that are 8 and 6. He's divorced and he's now seeing another gal named Rebecca. The only problem is, I'm not happy about it because 1) My previous Sister-In-Law Ashley was a crazy, stupid bitch that was a mediocre mom to my nieces and 2) I'm not too fond of In-Laws or Stepparents/Stepsiblings (I wish this system never existed. If a relationship with/without kids doesn't work, then that should be it: Either find a partner for life or don't do it at all). I don't want my nieces to have a stepmom in their life and I don't want to call this woman (Who I just met last night) my "sister". I know it's probably selfish of me to say this but I hope it doesn't work out for my brother Andy and he leaves Rebecca.

    Ah, that sucks. I love my sister in law she's funny, smart, and she makes my brother happy. That's all that matters.

    Is your brother happy? Let him decide for himself if she's the right gal for him. He brought her to meet you, that's a pretty big deal. He cares about your opinion and he wants you to be accepting. Just be polite and root for your brother!

    He deserves happiness just as much as you.

    The thing to do is to get a life of your own & forget about dwelling on your brother's.

    You are not being mature. I understand that you can't control your feeling but you can sit down and think like an adult. Anyway it is none of your business, your brother and Rebecca have the right to give it a try. One day you'll understand.

    Well, my sister dated her ex husband for 6 years. They started off great and slowly dwindled to horrible. They got divorced. She slept all day and never worked. He went to the marines.

    She then has her best guy friend (who saved all his tips from work cause he never had a girlfriend or reason to use them) hit on her and she gets out of bed, starts dating him, and is married to him within 4 months of being divorced.

    In that situation- I didn't want her to get married for emotional healing reasons but she didn't care- she had bills to pay and a loneliness to try to fill.

    I'm sorry, but to me, your reasons seem very selfish and unreasonable. It's okay to care for your brother, but you should respect his choices. It is his life not yours. If I didn't know any better, I would say that you are jealous that these women get to be with him.
