It often depends on how much older we are talking. My husband got married before his older brother but they are only 15 months apart, so my brother-in-law didn’t care one whit and had even expected that it would happen that way. He was no old bachelor when we got married, did not have that much more shidduch experience than my husband had, and he ended up getting married about a year later anyway. If the siblings are, say, 5 years apart, then I could see how it might be harder for the older one and more sensitivity would be required.
