YOUR BROTHER OR SISTER INFLUENCES YOUR LOVE LIFE

Thanks to the brother in my life, I learned the peculiarities of men. When they shave with the bathroom door locked, you always arrive late for an appointment, and if he is overly interested in your girlfriend, you will have trouble because of that. Such a brother (my girlfriends are safe nowadays because he is happily in love). Later, I got another little brother and a sister as a gift from dad. Yes, madam, I am well off in the weak brother-and-sister department.

But there is a little something with that. The hierarchy in the siblings line influences your relationship. And I thought I was in charge in relationship land. But no, your following also has a say in it. Yes, you thought you were free from the yoke, so nice on your own, huh? Nope.

“And with you?”

Linda Blair, psychologist and author of the book ‘Birth Order: What Your Position In The Family Really Tells You About Your Character’, has a theory. How you are in a relationship mainly depends on your parents and whether they can stand each other a bit (aiaiai, double trouble in paradise here). But also from your siblings . Are you the oldest in the line? Then you are responsible and caring, and that is good for your love life. Only with this type, a little bit of the control freak peeks around the corner. The middle child is a star in, you probably guessed it, making compromises and adapting to the whims and fancies of the oldest and the youngest. Are you of the youngest kind? Well, young and reckless takes risks, seeks attention, and is a charming child. And were you the lone wolf at home? Douze points, because there are few more reliable than you. Also a bit minus douze points, because you are used to the spotlight and therefore demanding in love.

The match made in love land of the only child is the oldest in line. Look, that dates a lot easier. And if you start swinging with the young ones, you get a spontaneous existence, but with a bump here and there. I find myself in the middle ground and date the oldest. Well, if you forget those separated paths of dad and mom for a moment, it should be fine. And with you?
