All right, so my brother is in high school and he has a girlfriend. They've been together for eight or nine months. She is a really nice girl and I like her as a person, but she really isn't very nice to my brother. He's a really passive calm quiet kind of guy and she completely rules him. He lives in fear of ticking this girl off. The thing that really bothers me though, is that she criticizes both him and my mother. She tells him he's a mamas boy and other equally charming things. The funny thing about him being so completely whipped, is that their relationship isn't even remotely physical (because she told him it wasn't going to be). How is this possible? Is it bizarre to any one else?

What do you mean about 'their relationship isn't even remotely physical'? I don't quite get the line.
Anyhow, that's nothing compared to my brother's experience with his first girlfriend in high school. It shook me quite a bit that it influenced me not to have a boyfriend for quite a while. Hahaha.
My brother:
With his first relationship. He was so whipped that he didn't think for himself no more. He'd just follow the girl around and couldn't even decipher that he's being bossed around. All his friends and our relatives would laugh at him because he leaps whenever the girl tells him so.
At one point, I was at home watching T.V. when suddenly, my brother opened our gates and came running to the phone, before he could reach the phone, it rang. Then he answered it saying "Hi! sorry for not calling so soon, I just arrived in the house". What's funny was that he actually dropped her at her home before he did come home, and obviously SHE was TIMING him!
Another time, we were traveling by land with all my brothers and parents. We were doing a road trip to my grandmother's farm a few hours away from the city. Cellphones was still new at the time and there were portions in the province that didn't have cell sites. Anyhow, while on that road trip, he kept on calling the girl every few minutes to 'report' where we were and when we came to the portion when no signal could be found, he sighed a loud sigh and said "YES! At last!".
Ah, young love is really stupid love. To make the long story short, when they stepped college he immediately dumped her for someone else at an instant.
I say, these kids are just really overdoing things too much and their choking themselves to bits. I see them wearing wedding bands and calling their girlfriends or boyfriends 'wife' and 'husband' respectively. It's quite an irony since those who are married don't wear their bands at all. They're rushing themselves, feeling that they've found the ultimate 'love of their lives' and yet after a while, they break-up and start all over again.
I wasn't like this before. I'm quite the old fashioned type, I'd say. I got my first boy-friend at age 21, and first boyfriend at age 25 (yeah I know it's late) and still I couldn't consider myself fully mature in all aspects of the relationship. And I'm absolutely proud of not running around town expressing my passions to a guy and then after a few months breaking-up.
My fiance used to tell me that kids now-a-days are living their lives as if they are movie stars. Too much television and computer games made their brains too idealistic. Peer pressure cause them to force themselves to follow a norm that they set in their minds. If they could, I guess teenagers now-a-days would fly! and realize the next day that they can't.
So, I think we should expose our brothers or maybe all our kids to the beauty of the world, so that they wouldn't limit themselves to television, and computer games. We should do our best to help them travel and expand their views. That there are indeed lots of fish in the ocean and commitment is something more than the Romeo and Juliet type where there is 'you and me against the world', and all other romantic tragedies. So that they could see that what they're doing is comedic in nature and absolutely unnecessary.

haha, well when you are young you have a few bad relationships that teach you to do better next time, you eventually learn and find what you really want through experience or really good luck. Just let him go through this, he will learn from it, this relationship will obviously fail sometime in the future, don't doubt that truth at all haha. I pity the man that will be with her someday, but perhaps in time she will learn how to be a nicer girl, people change and mature over time. Good luck to your poor brother haha, happy mylotting, and have a great night or day!
