My brother posted a picture of his sons on his facebook page and titled them as "the family's pride and joy."
I commented with "My nephews are really handsome!"
Then my brother replied with a comment of "Hu u?"
3 letters only, but that really hurt me. I dont know why he said that. I just called him last week after his operation so I thought we are in good terms.
On the same thread I asked him why he was asking who I am but he did not respond.
I don't plan to ask him again. It would be up to him now if he wishes to speak to me or to recognize that I am his sister.

My profile pic is there and I use my whole name so it would be impossible for him not to recognize me.
I think he "hu u'd" me intentionally. come to think of it, ever since i decided to move, he has not spoken to me if I wasnt the one who contacted him. 
anyway, i'll be home in 12 days, i'll be able to confront him about this then.

He's my only brother and we used to be really close. I hope there is more explanation why he is acting like this.

ddaguno that was really mean of him. shame on him. I wonder
y mean of him. shame on him. I wonder
why he did that? You know I am not too crazy about face book
although everyone thinks its the best thing since sliced bread.
Also if someone hurts me I would be tempted to hitto w them on the
head next time we met. He is your brother and does that to
you?well I would ignore him for a few days and make him curious
as to why he has not heard from you.

That was really nasty, i would just leave your brother now to stew.This is one of the reasons i tend not to bother with face book, as that is where people go, to air their dirty linen.See if he gets intouch with you, rather than you getting in touch with him again.

From the wordweb dictionary, say that an exclamation is "an abrupt excited utterance". His taste may not be those comments that have an exclamation point. He could have thought comments should have serenity and noiseless to eyes. You can comment still just modify the comment.

hu u was not a personal attack to me, but a common silence patch up. it would be rude not to return a comment at all so it means that he cares.

Wow, why your brother so angry at you if you are reaching for him? I think he is someone that can hold a lot of anger, and a difficult person to not forgive others. You are already doing your part for reaching out and all. Is your sister in law talking trash about you or something??

i cant keep secrets from my brother because my sis-in-law talls him everyhting about me. but i dont feel bad about that and i am in touch with my sis-in-law more than my own brother.
i dont know why my brother is acting like this. my mom always says he's attitude is like someone having andropause.

Hello Ddaguno
,
I wouldn't mind it but i wouldn't never comment on my brother's page ever again even if they asked for it. that's hurtful he never should have said that in the FIRST PLACE. that's a very insensitive remark. it's a pathetic thing, he should have been lucky that he was given a second chance in life.Life is too short, i know i had my issues but he should have shown discreet.

In my opinion something must have been went wrong. If you care for him he would also care for you but due to some reasons is not able to show or express it. You must give him another chance to correct his mistake after all humans make mistakes.

Do you have a constant communication with your brother? or maybe you have some unresolved misunderstandings before that made your brother pretend to ignore you...Or maybe, do your nephews knows you well or do you get to see them often? there's also a possibility that when you posted your comment, somebody else in the family is the one actually online not your brother and doesn't knows you well that made him/her asked "hu u"?....

You've tagged this discussion as a misunderstanding. Do you think it's a misunderstanding? Or do you think he really was trying to hurt your feelings? It sounds mean to me and I feel so bad for you. I know what it's like to not be close to your family, of course you're going to drift, but family's family, he should at least be trying to be civil.
