[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What did you do OP?[/quote]

Well, that night I said no to driving him. I haven't been asked since, but am going to continue to say no. I have no problem setting boundaries and was planning to say no anyways, but I wanted to see what others thought - if this was just being selfish or if I actually was justified in saying no.

I'm pretty surprised at all the posters saying I should end my relationship over this though. My boyfriend is thoughtful, caring - an amazing guy. Clearly his brother's issues are not ideal, but I'm not dating his brother. I am not inclined to end an amazing relationship over something like this. His brother is struggling with a serious health issue; clearly, his family is enabling him and not encouraging him to seek the help he needs, but I don't really feel comfortable stepping in and offering my 2 cents either.

I am well aware of in-law issues and am cognizant of them when thinking about our future. However, if I refused to date guys with less than perfect families, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be dating at all (and nobody would want me and my slightly over-bearing parents).[/quote]
