Can you tell me why do you love your sister/brother? Was like that since you were little? I must say that i have a big brother, and he alwasy protected me, and was nice with me.Even if he was doing a lot of mistakes, i really love him, but sometimes he really makes real big mistakes, and he don`t want to hear any advice. But since he told me something, my love it`s not so intense. He told me that if i`ll cheat him in business, he would burn me with my hole family, and that, even he was drunk, hurt me so much, and since then, i really don`t know if i really love him, or just because he has the same blood with me.
What do you think? Please tell your story too!

Yes, I do. Although that doesn't mean that we don't have fights ones in a while. Still, we know that we are there for each other no matter what. We may have differences on things but we still make sure that we understand and stand by each other. We know for a fact that no one else would be there for us 100% except for us all and our parents.

you`re so right. Even if he said all thouse, i can`t hate him, i still love him, but that made me think twice when i`ll do something for him, or to help him out with something. I can`t deny that i`m not angry on him, but he`s still my brother. Even if he did a lot of mistakes, i really try to help him, even if it`s with 7 years older than me. But, from that day, i think that he saw too that i`m not so helpfull like i was before. Now, it`s something like a best friends, just because he haves the same blood as i have, but he hurted me a lot. Anyway, thanks a lot for your good thinking. I really appreciate that! Take care !

Hello delkar. I have three siblings in all, my elder brother and elder sister, me included. I do love them both genuinely. I believe the saying that blood is thicker than water. They love me as well. We have had a very sibling relationship ever since we were kids. My siblings take good care of me, even now when I have a family of my own. I love them a lot.

you`re so lucky! I`m not so lucky. I have a good relation with my brother, but just like friends, because of what he said to me , and now, what he said to my mom and because of what atitude has with all of us. He is so nice with others, and with us, his family, he tries to get money from each of us, as much as he can. He tries always to fool us with anything. He has 28 years old, and he still lives with parents, and they are so mad, because all the money earned he spent them with girls and at that age, he don`t have anything buyed for himself. All the family, tried a lot to make him to see what he`s doing, but now, even my dad, that helped him a lot, even we didn`t know that, but now he told us how many things he did for him, and he still have a bad atitude. It`s sad, but it`s the true.

I do love my brother. He is younger to me. But we all should remember one thing and that is money can create problems in any relationship, however strong it is. So its better to have business dealing or money related dealing with people other than whom you love. My brother is still studying and I being the elder sister, we donot have any such dealings. So still our relationship is protected. But we all should be careful and be a bit practical. Relationships change with time. So my advice would be that you should love your brother but still be careful. Afterall money can be the best as well as the worst thing. Its always better to be careful.

yes, i know that. Thanks for your advice. We never had any business together, because i know that will destroy our relation, but that was when he told me that if i`ll cheat him he will burn me and all my family. He was drunk, but when you are drunk, you`ll tell all that you can`t say and that made me feel so bad...

One time, I gave money to my brother for an agricultural project. After some months, I visited him and observed that he never did anything that we have planned but the money was already spent. (I've learned from relative that he used it to buy drinks for his friends.) I was infuriated and we had a heated argument that day I confronted him. However, when he visited me in my place, I can't find any anger in my heart though he never asked for forgiveness.
I have lots of other arguments with my siblings. Some are quite more serious. However, since they are my brothers and sisters, there's this bond that keeps me loving them. I'm sure, I will still love all of them even if someone will do me a great wrong and will hurt me deeply. I don't think I'm a martyr or what but I just find it more complicated to live in a world of hate than of love.
