StreetcarBlanche and MickeyCheeky, I absolutely agree with everything you've said! Thank you so much! It was exactly what I needed to hear. They're both adults and they need to handle this on their own.

I do. Pretty badly too.

I know what I should do, and hopefully your suggestions will help me grow a spine, lol. It's going to be hard though. I've always stood up for my brother and played mediator between him and our dad.
I also wanted to clarify that my boyfriend does respect my boundaries. Like I said, he hasn't tried to keep my brother away or anything like that. It really seems to bother him though, and I also don't want him to feel like he has to hide his feelings about it.
