Question for you all today. My bf has his only brother who has done very VERY well for himself and refuses to accept any money from him. Now my b/f does good enough as a middle class earner (like myself) but so many other family members of him and friends say he is insane for not taking anything. My bf has no debt, almost has his home paid off, has both vehicles paid off, and decent savings. And his brother keeps pushing him to take some and now he is asking me to instead, to which I am like..."oh hell no!" I'm not letting money ruin my relationship. Anyone of you had or have a sibling or other family members do this and not let up and what did you do to stop em from badgering you or your spouse/partner? I am thinking his brother wants to use it as some level of control, but I am not saying anything to either of them about it.

If your boyfriend doesn't need the money, why should he take it?

Have you thought about sleeping with the more successful brother and then asking him for money?

Kinda like you would be an escort

I don't want anything I didn't earn. If his bro is trying to give you money it's because he's planning on hitting that. Pics??!

He should take the money and send you to college take English Composition 101.

Yeah I understand

It was just a suggestion

Would you do it if your BF never found out?

Yeah, why not leave your man for his brother?

Me thinks your bf isn't nearly as "well off" as you describe in your OP... If he were I don't see how this would even be an issue. Clearly a bro is trying to help out a bro here....

I would like to be in this position, but sadly I'm not.

If this is true, then you BF is right not to take it. Doesn't sound like he needs it anyway.

You sure you a female OP? This sounds like something a man would say to a buddy, not something a woman would say to a friend.

It's not prostitution if you actually go on dates.
