Warning: this story may make you angry. I didn't do it I'm just reporting.
*****
Boys aren't dumb. They're dumber than girls. But a boy can outwit a girl.
If he's younger.
*****
When your brother arrived in the world you were competition for attention, and, an available female.
It didn't take him long to figure out how to get the parental spotlight aimed at him.
He then age 0 looked at you and got your attention too for a different reason.
Ideas like sister aren't obvious to a baby. We just came from deep space womb.
Baby boy sees toddler girl and sees peer female.
Sex the idea also isn't obvious.
But those adults are huge. Like another species. Big sister wasn't very big herself.
It took many months before he learned the social lesson thou shall not fuck you.
Single female but for another annoyed him. You were and remain competition for, and a provider of, resources.
*****
Women have a soft spot, biologically.
Charm and sadness is a potent poison. It makes you drop your guard to men.
He figured that out.
Ryan learned how to extract maximum benefit from you.
Doesn't mean he doesn't love you.
It just means he got in your head. Not vice versa.
He as the younger sibling was watching and listening to you when you were not watching or listening to him.
Intelligence work.
He knows you better than you know him.
Fix that.
As you figured out your parents and how to use them for maximum advantage, so did your brother do that to you.
*****
His intentions are benign, but he retains that advantage. He's selfish as we all are. And doesn't want you as his mate because it's illegal.
So his loyalty is... not what mine is.
*****
Now you know. And knowing's most of the battle.
