MY selfish brother has an odd attitude towards sex and relationships.
He’s nearly 30 and always attracted to women who are shy, unconfident and subservient.
He bosses them around and boasts he uses them for any kind of sex he fancies.
But the minute these women gain an ounce of confidence or dare to answer him back, he throws them out the door. In short, he doesn’t like anyone who sticks up for herself. I don’t think this is healthy, do you?
My partner and I are currently very angry. He cruelly dumped his last partner (who we adored) on December 10 and moved in a new model the very next day.
We had to endure Christmas lunch at our table with a giggling woman we had never even met before. We felt very uncomfortable and disloyal.
My partner maintains that he is simply not a very nice person and I must admit I am inclined to agree.
Despite everything, our mother adores him and won’t hear a word against him.
Shouldn’t someone tell him people aren’t disposable and can’t be treated like dirt? JANE SAYS: You may not approve of the way your brother lives his life, but I don’t really know what you can do about it.
He’s a free agent and a grown man. If he thinks it’s appropriate to continually swap his partners for a “fresh model” then that’s up to him. His behaviour may not be desirable or mature, but we’re all different.
What you can’t allow him to do is act like a brat and run roughshod over you in your own home. I get the impression your mother will always take his side, no matter what, so don’t bother to argue with her.
All family situations have their particular challenges. Be thankful that you all got through the holidays in one piece and that there’s a new year to look forward to.
