[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't say anything. I mean, what would you say? "You're too old and fat for him to be attracted to, he must be after your money since you have nothing else to offer"? That is never going to go over well.[/quote]

Oh god no! I would never say that.  I'm his sister so I'm biased, but I think my brother is great catch. He's very successful in his career, highly educated, and a nice guy. I guess I just don't see them fitting together, but they met walking their dogs, so I guess they have that in common.

So if he's a great catch, isn't it possible that his boyfriend sees him the same way? I get that something's rubbing you the wrong way, and that's really hard to sit with, but there's nothing really to say unless you have something more concrete, either in terms of information your brother isn't aware of, or observations that your brother seems unhappy.[/quote]

Maybe just maybe he genuinely likes your brother. Maybe your brother treats him well compared to those in his "colorful past" whatever that means. Maybe your brother is a little less snotty than you seem to be and doesn't care that he doesn't have a degree or  a fancy career or that he isn't "polished".
I wouldn't say anything more than you have unless you have some concrete evidence that he's using your brother.[/quote]
