Because of what happened to him? Or because you lost your basement?

Whomp - both my dad and uncle moved in with their sister (my selfless aunt ) her kids and husband within a month of each other while they both were going through divorces at the same time.

My dad was the cheater - my mom threw him out . My uncle was the victim of violence so he needed to leave to keep himself safe and his wife would not go within a few miles of his sister at that time.

They were all like properly over 45 during this time and we made light of it because how often do you get to live with your siblings again in middle age ! My grandparents loved it. It was cute. A special time.

Eventually everyone moved out and got remarried :).

Try to make the best of it - and be sensitive to what he is going through. Siblings can certainly provide comfort and support to one another in a way no one else can, but don’t worry eventually everyone finds their way . He won’t be living within y’all forever . 🤞🏽Maybe use this time to connect with him and learn more about him as an individual now that he’s not coupled up. Good luck!

I’ll never get why isn’t the other person the one moving out in these cases

Is it easy to get into either of MBB in another country, let’s say Russia or UAE, with a degree from a US non-target yet good school? I would assume a US degree will be much more coveted than any local degree. I can work in either countries as well as US, and I would love to leverage that to get ‘MBB’ on my resume if that can be pulled off lol I’m not sure if the quality of experience will be the same.
