I think first of all, try to give him a chance. You haven't actually met him or gotten to know him so he may turn out to be completely different than you expect. And if he is someone you don't really like, you can be nice without being fake. Just don't try to overdo it. Does that make sense? It's hard to explain what I'm trying to say...

You need to make your own decision about this guy, and not let others influence you. There must be something really great about this guy for your husband to care about him so much, besides being brothers. Just be yourself with no pre-conceived notions and you'll be just fine.

Very true Janet. My husband is a very goos judge of character & I normally like everyone he does. I just need to find the reasons he loves his brother so much.

I always find if I open my heart, I can find good in most anyone.

That's true Janet. You just have to be willing.

Ditto what Janet said.
You don't have to love him, just treat him as you would any new friend of the family and let it grow from there.

So true Thank you very much Tink. I guess I have been trying to figure out how to love him as much as I do his sisiter (who has stayed with us & I've actually gotten to know). You are right. I don't have to love him or really even like him yet. I just have to get to know him for now.

Just have an open mind and give it a chance. If it does turn out you don't care for him remember he won't be here long and if John has the chance he will have him occupied with video games a lot. You have put up with people you didn't really like for a lot longer than that.

I do understand what you mean & thanks Ang. I hope I do like him if for no other reason, for my hubby & our daughter. It will be his first time meeting her. His only niece . He also may be going to Iraq soon so this is a great time for him to see her & for my husband to have time with him.
