AGONY: My brother's girlfriend is seven years older than him

Aug 30, 2020

I have tried to talk him out of the relationship, but he says he has never felt this way about anyone.

My brother is dating an older woman and I can't stand it. Don't get me wrong, Hellen is a nice girl. She is well educated, has a good job and is well spoken, but I can't get the fact that she is seven years older than my brother, out of my head. My brother is 27, while she is 34; and that talk that age is just a number, is nonsense to me. I have tried to talk him out of the relationship, but he says he has never felt this way about anyone. He says besides, he dated girls his age and all they did was disappoint him; that he wants to settle down with Hellen and start a family. But I do not think he has looked hard enough. I have tried to set him up with beautiful girls in his age bracket, but he won't even meet with them. This boy has a good job and can attract just about any girl so I don't know what is going on in his head. I once mentioned the age difference to Hellen and she said she does not mind at all, because my brother is mature. So it's like I don't have any other way of ending this relationship. I don't know what else I can do.

Please advise, Scovia.
