My brother wants to break up with me

[removed]<br><br>I have been accused of having a big head, but this is the first time someone has accused me of having a big heart.<br><br>I am 35 and have been with my girlfriend for 9 years. We recently moved into our own house. <br><br>I have a brother, 40, who is recently back on the dating scene after his wife left him for another man.<br><br>In the last few days, he let me know that we have been too distant, and he spends more time with his colleagues than with me. <br><br>He mentioned that he didn't want to make it seem like I was a bad brother, but he just didn't know how to relate to me. He wants to break up with me.<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>He also wants to know if I have been in his corner when he needed someone to talk to. <br><br>The next day, he asked if it was possible to be friends with someone and then stop being friends, but not really knowing why. <br><br>I was not expecting this, so I told him that I needed to think about it.<br><br>Over the years, we've had moments where we've drifted apart, but we always managed to come back together. <br><br>After all, we're family, and I've learned not to take things for granted.<br><br>I feel bad that I've let him down and would like to make amends. But I also feel sad about the situation.<br><br>Has anyone else experienced this?
