My girlfriend is so affectionate with her little brother and it makes me want to love her more
My girlfriend has 5(!) siblings. 4 of them are younger than her, and she takes being a big sister very seriously
While she loves everyone equally, albeit in different ways, her relationship with her little brother is which is particularly touching
He's the youngest of the lot. He's shy, introverted, and a little sensitive.
My girlfriend absolutely adores him, she's always so gentle, so caring and so considerate with him. She never raised her voice at him, not even in a jokey way. She always checks in on him, always asking about him when she calls her parents. Whenever he'd feel sad or just low, she call him, just to listen, never invalidating his feelings, never telling him to "grow up" or "get over it", instead she would be endlessly patient, and offer nothing but comfort and reassurance. Often times, she'd facetime him at night just to wish him good night and to tell him she loves him
Whenever he comes at our place, he is treated like a little prince, my girlfriend woukd be buzzing for hours before he came, all his needs would be catered to, she would be very considerate about what he likes and dislikes, the guest room would be converted in a little sanctuary just for him to feel safe
I'd often hear stories about him from her. About good days, bad days, everything in between. She talks about him with so much affection in her voice. Her eyes soften when she talks about him, and she's extremely proud of everything he's achieved, no matter how small the milestone is
He, in return, is extremely attached to his big sister, he loves her so much, calls her his best friend, and is always so grateful for her love
When we first started dating, we both made sure to let him know that our relationship doesn't change a thing, and I tried as hard as I could to make him realize I wasn't gonna take his big sister away from him
We've had to adjust sometimes, change plans, and even cancel dates sometimes and honestly, it's fine by me
There's something so pure about their bond, she adores him so much, she gives him so much affection, and he looks at her like she hung the moon
It's a hard feeling to describe, seeing the person you love being capable of such all encompassing affection and unconditional love, and it makes me fall in love with her even more
She's a lot of things, and there are so many beautiful things about her, but the most beautiful of all is her heart ❤
