Brother Refuses to Give Up Cats

Dear Dr. Roberta,
My fiancé is allergic to cats. My brother has cats at his apartment and refuses to get rid of them. That means we can never visit him. Isn’t this selfish of him?

Engaged, Montana

Dear Engaged,

Some people think of their pets as if they were their children. Would you ask your brother to give away his son or daughter? Get over this and invite your brother to join you and your fiancé at a restaurant or a park or for a car ride.

– Dr. Roberta
