I share food with my family too but we usually use a fork and a knife instead of simply eating from the same spot on a burger.

Sure, but some people don't mind eating from the same spot. Hell, I've taken a sip from my brother's drink, same with my husband and his sister. It's okay to not be comfortable with that but acting like it's some kind of incestual thing is just weird.

Hm. Good point. For some reason I saw it as different from sharing straws but it really isn't. Thanks for that.

Really? I come from a family that shares food but I kinda stopped doing that as I got older because the idea of getting my brothers saliva all over my food kinda grossed me out a little. Is it not like kissing your sibling or ..?

If you feel it's like kissing your sibling and aren't comfortable with it then you're welcome to not share food with your siblings. But he obviously doesn't feel that way and that's totally fine too.

So I shouldn’t tell him it makes me uncomfortable? They’re super close, his sister has even said that they’re “weirdly close” and I think this aspect is part of the weird close and it grosses me out every time it happens

Sure, tell him. I wouldn't expect it to go well but he should probably know this about you.

Know what?

That you're jealous of his sister.
