This all happened a few months ago. I'd gone to a party at my brother's place in the city, got embarrassingly drunk, and chatted it up with a few people.
My brother called me a little after his party and starts asking me about one of the guys I talked to-if I thought he was cute, if I would date him. Now...I already AM dating someone, and have been for a year. He's the light of my life.
My bf overheard the conversation, and got the gist of it. Now he's angry with my brother, feels disrespected, and I really can't blame him. I'm very close with my brother and sister, and we hang out quite a bit. My bf would do almost anything for me, and is willing to hang out with my brother and let the past be past (although he isn't happy about it).
Should I let my brother know that my bf overheard? I never got the chance to tell him how very inappropriate I thought his phonecall was; I was just too shocked he would try to hook me up with someone else. I want my bf and bro to get alo

I would say yes, it is in all of your best interests to inform your brother, something letting him know that your BF means a lot to you and so does your brother and you want them to be able to get along, but you kind of feel that your brother needs to apologize to your BF about trying to hook you up with someone else becasue your BF overheard the call and feels disrespected.
The sooner you do this, the better, since a few months have already gone by. No need to be nervous about it, your brother will definitely understand and appreciate your concern. Good luck!

You don't have to necessarily tell your bro that your BF overheard, but it would be a good idea to tell your bro that his phone call was inappropriate and disrespectful to you and your BF (regardless of whether he knows about it or not) and you would like it if he never said anything like that again.
It’s best to let bros and sisters hash out their differences without getting others involved when possible. Because in the end you are still related and whether the result is bad or good you don't have any other choice but to live with it.

No i would just tell your brother that you are not interested in anyone else right now that you like your boyfriend and that is a very good man to you and treats you and respects you very well. Tell him not try to hook you up with anyone else anymore unless you ask him too. Tell him please do not do that again. be real nice about it. I would not tell him that your bf over heard there really is no point to that. it would only make your bf and your bros friendship wierd and they might not be able to talk with each other that well agian. I would just tell your bf that were not interested and that your brother was trying to help his little sister and that it was harmless and you did have a talk with him and told him not to do that again. I assure him that your brother will not do that again. Tell your bf that you really like him or love him and that you are with him only now and not thinking of dating anyone else.hope this helps.

If I understand correctly it is you who got drunk, not your bro, right? In that case you should talk to your bro and apologize, who knows how you came across when you were very drunk, perhaps you came across as flirting with this other guy. Tel your bro that you really love your bf and that he overheard the conversation and he is upset about it. You need to let your brother know how you feel, at the end he doesn't care who you are with as long as you are happy and he will accept whoever you want to be with. Good luck

You should justtell him that your bf overheard and was a little angry. Also that maybe if he ever feels the need to do that again then at least try to be just a little bit more private about it. He shouldnt have tried hooking you up if he knew you have a bf, if he didnt then you cant blame him for trying,

I would just tell your bf that everyone was drunk and your brother didnt mean nothing by it. It was just the alcohol talking. I would tell your brother that your bf overheard the conversation and have him explain to your bf that he was just drunk and it was a dumb mistake.

oh, yeah...tell your brother....if yall are close like you say, he'll understand and try to make your current bf to like him. Remember, all family wants for us is the best, so trust he'll be understanding...and a cool a** big bro. As for your bf...he sounds like a good guy, I commend him. I hope everthing turns out okay. Take care.

you have asked a great variety of questions there. ordinarily, definitely everyone seems to be lazy and don't prefer to offend so as that they make a huge scene and assume the colleges to do something, yet purely while something incorrect has got here approximately. the main suited way is for individuals to teach. i can't think of of a reliable thank you to provide up the little bro to provide up telling the midsection bro. definitely everyone has their biased evaluations in the direction of the themes so it is often no longer undemanding to tell the place is the final place to income. individually, I found out it with the aid of technology course. via no ability replaced into it a intercourse ed course, basically easy previous technology! different individuals I even have extensive-unfold, inclusive of myself have theory and reported that i'm very mature for myself so as quickly as I found out approximately it i replaced into at school; you're purely at school for one reason so do what you will desire to do. Now, i'm married and in college, so, I do what I would desire to do!!:)

Absolute honesty all the way around. Even have the guys talk about it. A few good punches brings guys closer.
