Redditors who married the sister/brother of an ex, is it weird having your ex as a SIL/BIL and how does your SO feel about the fact that you once dated their sibling?

I used to be very close with my brother but then he grew into a sociopathic douchebag acting like all the Lannisters combined. He desperately needs people to like him, idolize him and he's all about acting genuine, often crying for an hour in front of his friends to have all the attention. He is the worst kind of manipulator, he acts as if his friends(I dislike them, nothing genuine about them, actors like him but not as talented) and him were in a Game of Thrones and he treats our mother who provides for him like shit, always manipulating her to have a second chance. He once literally told me that together we could " conquer the world, like Alexander the Great and Ptoleme ". Yeah..he is also the kind of douchebag who calls himself a lion because he happened to be born august 11.

Anyway, he has always been a womanizing piece of shit. You can be a womanizer and be a nice person. But to him it is all a numbers game. He'll say whatever it takes to sleep with someone and he doesn't care about looks, just about adding a notch to his belt. When I used to be a virgin, he would always shove it in my face that he slept with 50 girls, use it to discredit me, acting as if I couldn't have a valid opinion about something because of that. He would always sabotage me and ruin my chances.

Once I became 18, well, he couldn't do much about that because I was in another state for university. I am attractive and someone who is very nice to everyone and more importantly, stable. Therefore, I had a few girlfriends, and he met every single one of them because I would come back home on the holidays. Let's just say that I attracted girls with problems back then who would try to use me as their personal therapist to get their life together. It was draining and often broke it up early, with reason(one was trying to get pregnant, after I left her, she found another idiot to put a kid in her belly). But before that, every time I would bring them to meet the family, my brother would get real close to them and say: " You seem to like her so I won't sleep with her ", implying that he could if he wanted. I didn't make much of it at the time.

I came back home with my bachelor at 20 and stayed there for a while. My brother had been in an open relationship with a nice girl for over 4 years(he was the one sleeping around, she didn't. I don't mind these kind of relationships but it was pretty one sided and it didn't seem fair).

I slept with a girl that was with me in highschool back then but did not pursue a relationship because, well, I very quickly found out she was a bit crazy(she had an anorexic phase, had chronic stress and her sister was schizophrenic so let's just say mental illness ran in the family. Some people might judge me because I don't want to be near that but they don't know what it's like to be dealing with people with mental illnesses daily and I do as my parents raised us with 9 patients with mild to severe mental illnesses, it was their livelihood) needy and a complete mess. She did not take it well. One year later, I met some other girls like that, had a relationship with one of them who just had chronic anxiety but it quickly turned out to be too much. Previous girl contacted me, appeared to be better, desperately wanted to have sex with me. Like an idiot, I said yes at first, but before seeing her again, I made up an excuse to not see her because, well, I thought it through and I did not feel safe with her, history of cray-cray, previous anger she had toward me and what not.

Brother's girlfriend dumped him a month later because he was verbally abusive toward her. Surprise surprise, as he kept saying he wanted to get back with her because she was the " woman of his life ", he kept sleeping with other girls and decided to go on Tinder. Suprise! Cray-cray girl and him found each other, had sex and she became his side bitch. I moved away because cray-cray girl always insisted to go to the home me and my brother shared. I did not care for her but she made me uneasy and being crazy, I did not feel safe sleeping in the same house as her. So I moved away.

Now that I'm far, I fully realize the douchebag with no regards toward me that is my brother. I see him on facebook flirting with other exes. And he always try to get me to come back near him because he cannot stand me being out of his reach.

The end.
