This is probably not the answer you are looking for...but he only does it because he loves you...If he didn't care what happened to you, then he wouldn't be so concerned about you going places...I know I know...just because he's older doesn't mean he has to control everything, but instead of getting defensive and fighting back, just let him care about you. Build up a trust with him, so that when he does want to let you go out, then he won't be worried...Make sure you have his trust...
If you want freedom, you have to act mature about it...
Hope I helped

Unless you have a bad history with running around with boys like crazy and you are not to be trusted, he seems to have an unhealthy fixation on you. You said you are visiting him. So steer clear of him otherwise and be wise abuot the information that you share with him. I wouldn't tell him anything about anything whether it's good, bad, or especially ugly. He sounds dangerous. Yes, it's based in love, but this is rather unhealthy. Don't visit him in the future if you can help it.

You are lucky to have brothers that love you so much. Boys are protective of there sisters because they know what boys want - to get physical. Just let your brothers get to know the guys you like and when they get to know the boys you hang out with they will feel more comfortable letting you be with them.

I have an older brother that I visited this weekend. He is extremely over protective and the first night he would not let me out of his sight and made a big scene that it be known that I was his sister and approached every guy that tried to talk to me. The next day, I talked to a few of his friends and they in turn spoke to him. The next day, he was more lenient on me and allowed me some space. He didn't have his boys looking out for me anymore but trusted me to go out with one of his female friends. It wasn't complete freedom but it was extremely nice. I suggest you try talking to him about his protectiveness and explain why he should trust you. Everyone says it shows that they care and it's true... so tell him that you care about him too, but you need a chance to be free. If that doesn't work, casually bring up the topic around his friends. Good luck.
