[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand your post at all, OP.  What purpose would telling your "true feelings" to your brother serve other than to alienate and piss him off?  These aren't feelings -- these are just your random bitchy observations about this guy.  None of these "feelings" are about the quality of their relationship, how this person treats your brother, how they get along, their long term potential as mates -- they are all surface superficial issues.

[b]Imagine if your brother came to you and said "Larla, I feel I need to tell you my true feelings about your husband.  Have you noticed that he doesn't  dress that well, that his hair cut sucks, and that he could drive a much nicer car?"  What, pray tell, would your reaction be?[/quote][/b]

Lol, this is funny to me because you've pretty much described my brother. Now that I think of it, that's another way he and his boyfriend match on the surface: dogs and bad shirts. Lol.
Seriously, I know  everyone loves an "opposites attract and all that story" , but that isn't the norm.
Like tends to go with and stay with like.
I know my brother and the circles he runs in. I know my family, and the boyfriend would stick out like a sore thumb.
Also to those who seem to think he's in it for the sex,
My brother isn't  like that.
I'm sure he has sex, and probably with the new guy, but he's not the type to use someone just for sex. 
He also wouldn't ask me what I thought about him, if that was the situation.
I haven't said anything to my brother. As I said we're close and I've shared my instincts with him before, but I'll refrain from doing so for now.  When I replied to his text all I said was that he seemed nice.
He hasn't  replied to me yet, so I don't know if anymore needs to be said.
