Hi della happy: When we love we have to let go sometimes. People are not objects so they are with us but at some point they have to go. Think about this: you haven't lost him, you have won a sister in law and probably some beautiful children. Your friendship with your brother don't need to change through the years. I hope everything will be ok.

Hi della happy: This sounds so much better. If your brother is really happy now and she is the one for him I think everything will be ok. It's normal that to have these bittersweet feelings. Thanks for sharing with us how you feel.

yes, i know it's hard to accept that your brother has a new life now. Because i know all these years he is with you all along. But now you're all grown ups, and you'll need to find a way how to accept things, nothings permanent they constantly change. He's not gone, he's still there for you, except that he has his own family now. Be friends with his wife.

Don't look at it as losing your brother he's not gone from your life completely but now he is in a different stage of his life and that has changed. He will always be your big brother but now your family has changed and this can be a good thing. Get close to your sister in law and she may be your best friend also.

its always a strange feeling when our loved ones drastically alter their lives. You need to find a way of spending time with him and his wife as a couple now, rather than just focussing on your brother. You will eventually marry someone and that will probably help you understand your brothers new life a bit better.

I guess we have to accept the fact that he was able to find the girl of his dreams and he has to live with it. Actually, you should be happy. Your brother got married to a girl he loved and he wants you to be happy for him too. Don't worry. Whenever he has problems, he would surely go to you and in the end, you'll find yourself comfortable with your brother again. It's just the way how life goes.
