My Brother

My oldest brother can be kind of prideful. He can be a very normal, happy, fun-to-be-around guy. But if you get into an argument, it gets ugly fast, (especially if your me who argues the most with him, weather it's my place or not, my fault or not), and he tends to end the argument by stating that his opinion or his way is better and that you won't talk anymore on the subject. He's also become a bit of a hypocrite in different ways, and also talks back to my mom and dad every now and then, and sometimes gets into other siblings conversations. I've tried talking to him about it sometimes, (and yes, I have made the mistake on overstepping my bounds), that's part of the reason why he gets more upset with me , or I with him. I just want our relationship to get better; I hate arguing, it tires me out and hurts me, but sometimes I can't help it.
But as I said before, he can act really nice when he's not mad, and he has apologized for his actions sometimes, but he still has a pride problem. Please pray that everything gets better: My relationship with him, his attitude, everything.
