This doesn't have to do with attracting a girl, but rather, a situation with my long-term girlfriends' family that is turning into a serious issue. I have been dating my girlfriend for over 2 and a half years now. We live together, and for all intents and purposes, I see myself with her for a long time.
She has two brothers. One is friendly, I get along well with him. The other has severe bi-polar disorder, and has never said a word to me in the 2 and a half years of us dating. I have never been rude to him, always saying hello, and trying to engage in conversation, but never having much success. He is a pretty rotten person, and gets great satisfaction from making other people miserable, including his sister, my girlfriend.
I have never really done anything about it, considering I know he has an issue, and just figuring it wasn't really my place to intervene. I also am not an idiot and have kinda figured he isn't fond of me, but like I said, he has never said two words to me, so I have slowly lost faith in ever having a relationship with him.
Well, **** hit the fan recently at a family dinner. He was going through a bi-polar 'episode' or whatever you want to call it, texting my girlfriend in a public restaurant. I could read the texts over my gf's shoulder and saw that he was writing her, calling me a '****ing idiot', 'piece of worthless ****', etc...extremely vulgar things about me. Like I said, I have NEVER said a mean thing to this kid in my life.
He storms out of the restaurant, and later sends ME a private message on Facebook calling me a '****ing faggot' and that I will never be good enough for his sister, and to never talk to him again. I have pretty thick skin, and to be honest, I have seen how big of a piece of **** this kid is over the past 2 and a half years, so this doesn't particular bother me. I wish it was different, but I'm not going to let it get to me. The part that makes me mad is how rude he is to my gf. I haven't shown her the Facebook message because I know it will just make her more sad, and I just ignored the message.
Quite the odd situation I'm in...should I continue to take the high road, and ignore him? He thrives on people engaging him in situations like this, so I was figuring this was the best approach, but it's not like I'm never going to see this kid again. Any suggestions?
