I could use a few different points of view PLZ

[FuzzyPeaches o.O]

More than likely its the wife.

To play devils advocate though there is always 2 sides to the story and you could be doing some shit that is pushing him away so man up and think about it from his perspective as well


If you havent really done anything and it really is your bro than your going to have to be straight with him

Tell him **** you man, You guys were close but he is disrepecting the hell out of you

Tell him to quit acting like a bitch and say it like it is.

If he doesnt wanna hang out with you as much or something is bugging him than just say it like it is.

Your a big boy im sure you can handle what ever he has to say.

But dont come off with high emotions just lay it out all the things you have noticed and cite specific references.

I have already done those things Bryan and I have done them with couth. I have been polite to the both of them even though in my gut I want to tell them both to sit and spin. In an attempt to keep the family circle as close as possible I continued to just take their disrespect time and time again. For me though the bachelor party was the game changer. Regardless of whatever BS his wife-to-be is or is not shoveling it was HIS bachelor party and it was HIS choice to segregate me from it.

As such it is now MY choice to withdraw from the wedding party and the more I think about it I certainly will not attend the reception. I understand what you are trying to say SlimmerMe BUT I will not celebrate anything involving my brother at the moment. I may not even attend the ceremony, I am really going back n forth on that issue. I see no reason why my attendance is required at this point.

Sounds like you have a good head about it. Do what you feel and you'll be fine.
