Brother-In-Laws


Brother-in-laws are usually portrayed to be bad influences on their married or unavailable brothers. In most movies and shows, they’re responsible for causing marital issues. Scenes of both borrowing money and not paying back, strip clubs, or drinking too much is what they’re known for. In my life, I only have one older brother-in-law and despite the fact that he drinks, he always seems to steer my boyfriend away from anything negative, actually fueling our relationship so that it betters. He’s only asked for money a few times and the sum was never more than $20. As a matter of fact, he was the only one who accepted me when I met my boyfriend’s family. With two younger brother-in-laws, I am at constant war with myself, debating whether or not I’m allowed to consider them annoying. I love my brother-in-laws like family and I’d be there if anything ever happened. For me, it’s simply easier to get along with male friends since females can hold grudges, anger easier, and can be straight out bitches. So, in shows and movies, brother-in-laws are bad influences OR they’re sleeping with their brother’s girl, two things that are not true in any sense of the word.  My advice to females who can’t stand their brother-in-laws is to sit down and talk to them. Maybe the reason for not liking them is because you don’t know them or don’t understand them. It would make a huge difference because then your partner will have their brother back without the fear of angering you. After all, it wouldn’t be fair to separate him from family.
