Boyfriend refusing money from his brother

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.

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 want to go shopping with that money don't you?

I didn't read all that but I'm assuming it's trashy
Posted on 3/27/16 at 7:31 pm to moffettduck
Why can't I have these kind of problems??
Posted on 3/27/16 at 7:31 pm to moffettduck
TROLL!
Posted on 3/27/16 at 7:34 pm to moffettduck
the question unanswered is, why is the brother offering it?
Posted on 3/27/16 at 7:34 pm to moffettduck
Be honest. You are just looking for an excuse to cheat on your boyfriend with his brother

Is this a Reddit Roast Me thread?

It's called pride. Don't take it unless you really need it.

He probably doesn't want the money because he doesn't need it. He could be satisfied with the earnings he has made for himself. Money is not everything, nor does it bring contempt or happiness

In this day and age it's nice to hear of someone refusing a hand out. Your boyfriend should be commended. He sounds like he's doing just fine for himself.

You voted for Obama huh?
This is a perfect setup for your BF. HE HAS NO DEBT, AND HOUSE ALMOST PAID OFF! He worked hard to get there, and yet his sad arse family thinks he's stupid for not taking a handout, and you seem to agree. This is what our country is becoming. Instead of celebrating someone getting to this point we pose questions on why they should accept money (for zero reason apparently other than his brother has it) to add to his bank account. Sad.
