Is it normal that this has bothered me?

It may sound petty, but here it is:

I met a guy. We like each other. Then I found out he is the older brother of a guy that I grew up with, went to school with etc. I really respected him. I used to get bullied back in high school and he was one of the only few people that didn't judge me. We got on quite well too. But after school we lost contact just like a lot of people do.

So fast forward a few years. I meet his big brother and we start dating. He told his younger brother about me. He replies that he actually knows me, we used to go to school together etc. I don't know exactly what was said about me but before I know it, he has deleted and blocked me on facebook. The guy I am dating told me not to worry about it, just ignore it.

We used to get on well. I cannot stress enough that there was no romantic interest at all between us, we were strictly friendly. And as soon as he hears I am dating his brother, even after years of us not talking, he just blocks me. We weren't friends either, just friendly so he can't be angry about that.

is it normal this has bothered me? I really love the guy I am dating and don't want his family to hate me.

    Why don't you confront him when you get the chance to be near him. Assumptions aren't always the best ways to resolve a problem like this.

    Keili is right. Although you only saw him as a friend, he probably really liked you. Trust me I've been on the same boat. Anyway, now that he knows you're with his brother, he is probably blocking you to keep distance. It's not that he's mad at you, he just doesn't want to see you posting about his brother. I know if the girl I love got a boyfriend, I'd want to block her so I wouldn't torture myself by seeing her on the newsfeed all the time and talking about the guy she likes.

    I am in the same situation - my boyfriend's little brother and I went to the same school, same classes. I even sat next to him in class. But he hasn't acted weird when I started dating his brother.

    In my opinion he just thinks that it is more correct to keep distance from his brother's girlfriend. Think about it as just his way of respecting your relationship. It's normal that this has bothered you though. Some people react weirdly to situations.
