My lovely Brother

Hello all, my brother is 32 and anf has almost always been single. I don't know why but he just can't seem to find a girlfriend! In my opinion he is a great catch -he runs his own business, he can turn his hand to anything, own house, so kind and caring, good looking etc. He's an amazing uncle to my children and I know he'd love to have his own. My heart breaks to think of him as lonely as he has said he is.

He works hard but does make time for social things, I just don't get it. He started seeing someone, she moved in but it wasn't going well and he came home from work early to find her moving her stuff out and she hadn't told him. Sad. I could cry thinking about him coming home to that or worse, if he'd not come home early and the house was empty!

There must be some reassuring stories out there or advice?! Please Sad

He may be happy having no strings sex with lots of women, be celibate but happy or have a kink that isn't compatible with a relationship. As his sister, you wouldn't know any of this.

It’s odd isn’t it? I have a few friends like this too. Can never understand why they haven’t been snapped up.

FWIW I found your allegedly snippy comments very funny op

Sounds just right for my dd, where do you live! Wink

Did he ever get to the bottom of why his ex left so abruptly OP? I think this could be quite revealing for him and you. As a PP said it does seem odd that she upped and left without telling him. Perhaps there could be a reason for her leaving which would potentially reveal some character flaw which is hindering his success? Of course it’s entirely possible that the relationship just broke down through neither party’s fault but this is definitely interesting information in your OP.

She says she left because they both knew it wasn't going well but she didn't have the guts to say she was off. I don't doubt she'll be back because she's done this twice already before they were cohabiting. He took her back because he felt lonely 😔
