I (25f) live at home with my dad (41m), my brother (20m), and my bf (27m). My brother has been going to community college for the past two and a half years and is transferring to a four year university this January.

My brother has never lived anywhere but our house before. He will be living in a traditional dorm come January. I am admittedly a little protective of him. I don’t have to worry about him socially at college because he is great at making friends and he will be playing on the baseball team so he’ll meet people right away.

However, I am concerned he’ll get weird looks. My brother literally walks around the house in his underwear constantly. I’m not talking boxers; my bf does that and you can’t even tell the difference between that and shorts. I don’t know know the name but it’s like the really tight underwear. And before you say that he probably only does this because it’s family he literally has friends over and doesn’t get dressed no matter how many bewildered looks they give me or my dad.

I told my bf to talk to him because I thought it would be less awkward coming from a guy. I told my bf that if he took my brother shopping for athletic shorts or pajamas or even boxers I would pay for them. I just don’t want him to be the weirdo in college or on his team.

My bf talked to my brother and it didn’t go well. My brother immediately knew it was coming from me. He came to me and said that he’s stressed enough about starting college and doesn’t need me psyching him out about something so stupid. What he wears to lounge around and sleep in when he doesn’t live at home is not my business. I see his point, but I also don’t think I was wrong to try and spare him from teasing.
