Is my boyfriend hanging out with his brother all the time something I should be upset about?

Anonymous

For context: My boyfriend and I have been in what's essentially a long term relationship for 2 years now. We hardly see each other, but when he does, most of the time his brother tags along. His brother has constantly made comments about us being close, and not in a healthy way. I can't even hold my boyfriend's hand without hearing "Cooties" or "Gross". And I don't mean as the occasional joke - this happens every single time. Without fail. They share a room together at home, and whenever I call my boyfriend, he's there to talk to my boyfriend while we're on the phone.

Every time that I make plans with my boyfriend to watch a movie long distance or such, he always has something else to do with his brother that comes first. I've asked my boyfriend to talk to his brother about the comments, and he has, but they haven't gotten better. Recently, his brother even asked on a call to pick between me or him. I've been feeling really upset about this, are these feelings justified? Or am I being too selfish? Am I overthinking the situation? Thanks for the feedback.
