My friend's brother never calls her up,has never bothered to write to her,has not even informed her when he changed his email and messenger.Same goes for his wife.She has only him in the name of blood relatives.She keeps calling him up.Should shetake the Hint that he does not want her in his life or should she continue doing so being the elder one.They have never fought or have disagreed.Its just the way her brother is.He is more involved with his wife's relatives and in his peer group,with whom he maintains regular contact.whenever she asks him for reason he says he was busy? what is going on here?

Sometimes people just want to get away fromt their family and find other people to be with. It's not like they love you any less, it's because they want change. They'll come back to you when they need you, you just have to let them do it when they're ready. Don't force them to.

It could be that his wife discourages him from keeping in touch with his own family; that happens all too often and it is a sad situation. Maybe he just has more in common with the in-laws and peers. Your friend should try to maintain contact with her brother just to let him know she cares and that she is there for him if he needs her.

All I can tell you is never give up on family because in the end it is all you have to depend on.
We all have troubles and we just keep the doors open so that those we need can come into our lives.
I dont like burning bridges but some people dont know how to keep them built
Merry Christmas!!

Yeah she is always ready to bail him out at the cost of listening to all the rubbish people tell her about her brother neglecting to call others too or not being socail with in the family circle.She keeps protecting him from everyone but was upset recently as her brother didn't call her for a month now.Last time also she had called him up.
