No offence, but this is your brothers issue, not yours. Fair enough its quite a long time, but people get over things in their own way, in their own time.

actually there was one, but was a distant relationship and they met over the internet but broke up shortly after they met up.
I wouldn't worry too much if he's had relationships since. Even though they didn't last, it shows he's ready to be with someone else.

Did it not even remotely impinge on your contemplation that, perhaps, the reason as to why this last relationship 'didn't last' is precisely because he remains pervasively preoccupied with his ex?

How old is he? and i agree w/ kitten...you really cant help some one get over an ex they have to do it themselves. Maybe you should just talk to him about how you feel and get him to be more socially active ie if he wants to :/

Yes I did think about that, so theres no need to patronise me. But just because his sister thinks hes not over his ex, doesn't mean hes not. There could be any number of reason why his relationships broke down, not just because he's supposedly still in love with his ex.

I think the guy needs, with all due respect, to get a grip. Fair enough, its natural to still feel something towards an ex, but he needs to get out there and look after number 1.

He wrote a letter on a piece of paper and misplaced it. I accidentally came across it when i was tidying up.

(I know you guys will go on about invading his privacy, bla bla bla... i was just tidying up and was checking if it should go into the bin or not)

my brother hasn't got over his gf. it has been 5 years since their break-up. I'm getting worried.

he nees a little tough love. he needs to be firmly told to get over it, i know it sounds harsh but believe me it works :smile:
Or maybe he's gay and doesn't know how to tell his family?

5 years is a lot of time.. Is he a social person?

its hard to get over your first love (if it was his) and some people say you never do get over it (I agree). In the end tbh if I was in his situation I wouldnt want my sister prying her nose into it. I know it does sound harsh, and it is sweet that you care about him, but you need to let him sort it.

If you really want to do something about it, ask one of his friends to have a talk to him about it. Its the only thing you can really do.
We dont know enough about the situation.

For all we know, his last GF couldve been going out with him for 3 years and died in a car crash or something in which case he might not have got over it.

But yeah, give more information.

With all due respect, i think i can look after myself just fine. Maybe You should advise him to look after himself!

Ehh? I didn't say that, TrentEnd did. Don't know why it quoted it as being me though.
^^^^

Just one of the many mysteries of the world! Probably the same reason for why it has quoted TrentEnd as saying what i said when you tryed to quote me.

(which is why i didnt bother trying to quote you again just now :p: )
