Just been reading the other 'Brother's girlfriend' thread and it sounded similar to my own situation.
Ever since she and my bro got together all they have done is argue. Or rather, she has a go at him all the time about something or other and he is constantly trying to palcate her. I think he only had any peace for about 3 months at the beginning of the relationship before she started calling him at work to scream down the phone at him, chucking him out of her flat while he was staying with her, etc.
My brother lives with my dad (mum died, they pal along quite nicely, living like bachelors) and when his girlfriend was having problems with where she was living she was pressuring and pressuring him to let her move in with him and dad (which neither of them wanted). This all happened last Christmas and when my dad finally put his foot down on Boxing Day and told her categorically that she couldn't move in, it all kicked off into a massive row. I'm lucky in that my family all get on really well and we NEVER row at Christmas. It really ruined things.
Last month I found out that during a row she had been violent with my brother, threw some expensive property of his out of a second story window, destroying it, and then tried to punch him. He said he had to physically restrain her on the bed and felt awful about having to touch her in that way :( Obviously I told him that was completely unacceptable and he should end the relationship, but they're still together and 'trying to make it work'. Fuck knows why.
Anyway, she's probably going to be at our house again this Christmas and knowing what I do about the violence (she doesn't know I know), I can't bear the thought of her being in my family home at the one time of year we're all together. I love my brother and don't want to kick off and make things difficult for him but I really feel like asking him not to invite her. Should I just grin and bear it or would I be BU to stop her from coming?
Sorry for the massive essay, needed to rant! I really don't like her!!
