How is your brother's life working out for him overall?
His is perfect. I would love to have what he has. He married his high school girlfriend. They had a baby at 18 and stayed together. I would have loved that life. But I have had to do it on. Y own from the get go. I tried gettng married, but he really had no interest in marriage.
Was your brother raised by your grandparents also? Did he have pretty much the same rules, regulations, guidelines, and responsibilities you did growing up?

Nope he had me to look after him. We had the same rules, regulations, etc. he moved out with me when he was 15. He has a better relationship with our parents, but they don't seem to try to run his life like they do me. So I keep them at a distance. I am closer to my dad.

That's kind of weird. He was raised by you mostly. He had a baby at 18. Since then, he has had a pretty ideal life. Maybe you are right. Maybe you just didn't get any luck. Maybe he got it all.
BTW, what does he do for a living? How much younger is he than you? What about his wife, what is she like?

OP said she moved out at 18. So she'd be 3 years her brother's senior. But that seems more common in small towns. It's easier for guys to date girls than the reverse. An acquaintance of mine, though we haven't spoken in a while had that issue. She had no luck with dating, but her brother had himself a fun time, even though they lived in the same town growing up. He had 2 serious relationships in his 20s and a good few girls he was with casually.
It seems decent woman are likely to be in small towns than decent men/guys. Another poster, who I won't call out mentioned that. She had lived in a smaller town for a while, that had a good few decent and cute girls. That were with less than good men, like ex cons.

He has all the luck at casinos also. I lose all the time. He drops $20 and doubles his money.
He is a mechanic. 5 years younger. His wife is nice, works, stable and responsible.

I moved out before 18. Bought a house at 20. My brother was 15 and he lived with me by that point. We are 5 years apart.
As someone who has unknowingly dated someone with kids, I wouldn't take that chance again.
A single parent has more in common with the other single parent than a childless person. You just gotta keep looking.
I have not found that to be the case. At this point I dont know who I am supposed to be with. Maybe someday that will be answered.
I did talk to a guy last night on the phone, never married, 32 with no kids. I have known him for a few years in a business relationship, but never knew much about his personal life. I know his brother better. He did not seem put off that I have kids and has dated single moms. He wanted to marry the last one he dated until she cheated on him.
He has known who I was years, but always thought I was way younger than him, closer to his younger brothers age. But he said I come across as approachable because I am social and friendly, but very guarded when someone tries I get close to me. I thought that was interesting, but he is probably correct. I don't easily get close to men. They almost have to become my best friend.
