Question Im 5 months pregnant, on sunday i had an argument with my boyfriend about various issues in our relationship, it was heated and i am extremelly emotional, so there was a lot of tears, Im 27 years old, my boyfriend is 39, my 15 year old brother stayed over for the weekend and was in the bathroom while this was taking place, when he came out, he heard me crying and yelling and he decided to tell my boyfriend he didnt like me being upset, and could we chill out because im pregnant. he is a child so, my advice to him was to stay out of it. i went to church and recieved a call from my boyfriend asking if i put a butcher knife on the stove, i told him i only used a butter knife for pancakes, he thinks mybrother placed the knife on the stove because he was going to attack him, the only other occupants in the house at the time were children, and today they are saying that my brother placed the knife on the stove, so my boyfriends reaction is to teach him a lesson, if he put his hands on my brother i'll be forced to call the police, but i dont know what to do, in my heart it is not confirmed that he put the knife on the stove until he says so, but if he confirms this, i do feel he is out of place, but i would want to handle the outcome on my own
Answer alot of issues here, beginning with the health of the relationship, the fact that your brother, a guest no less, and essentially a child, was relegated to the bathroom during an argument that shouldn't have occurred under the circumstances, the knife being brought out, and threats of retaliation; the advice: the 3 of you should sit down and calmly discuss it, apologies be given all the way around, as the blame appears certainly sharable...if parties aren't willing to participate, then you/the brother can discuss privately--under the circumstances, it would be best if no more visits occurred for quite awhile..
