Talking to parents and elder brother about money?
piscean m asked:
I’m 25 from India. I have an elder bro my parents are looking to get him married ASAP.Our house is only big enough for us 4.I keep suggesting to my parents that before his marriage they should think about where is he going to live after marriage, or he should think about this. But since he doesn’t; I remind my parents, reasons are: 1. the house is not big enough 2. I don’t want my parents to unnecessarily get hassled with a larger family 3. A newly married couple needs some privacy. I truly have nothing against my own elder brother or my parents in my heart god knows that. They have worked very hard to get me where I am. Recently I got to know that my brother is harbouring thoughts that me him together could apply for a home loan buy together. Although I’m also working and earning a good salary, am not very comfortable with this. How should i talk about this to them? I don’t want them to think that I don’t love them anymore; I care about them a lot. What should I do?
I’m a guy.

Maybe they figure the girl he marries will have money to buy a house. I don’t believe this is your problem. Unless you think they will kick you out or will be looking for a hubby for you soon.

Let them figure things out on their own. Sometimes people have to learn things the hard way.
