I'm with rcn, but will add a point, here. Do you have an idea what the arguments are about? Is there any one thing or several? Do they involve you? Try to get the problem resolved. Talk to both seperately. Then do some analysis. Is brother trying to be over-protective and bf resents it? Just an example. But you have to take the initiative.

rcn agony auntLet them know their aggressions make you feel as if your stuck in the middle. You don't appreciate seeing people you care about fight, which you do both of them, and their not considering you feelings in having to watch it, and should have more respect for each other than to carry on like children over little things.

If you need to have everyone get together and come up with a plan. If they have trouble controlling their anger, make a group decision that if anger begins, whichever one decides walks away and the other person may not follow. Their a bit big for time out, but it almost seems as behaviors which would call for one.
