So disappointed in my Brother

9 replies

He has been married for 10 years and has a DS aged 10.

He announced to his wife that "he doesn't want to be married anymore"

They aren't arguing or anything and nothing has been decided.

Spoke to my other DB on weekend and DB1 has asked if he can use his new flat for "shagging women". This is a man who when I go in the car with him or to shops, he is constantly oggling women and saying disgusting things about them.

I feel so sorry for the wife (who told me about his outburst), he has no respect for her and is clearly shagging anything that moves. I know I can't get involved but I really feel like giving him a slap around the head.

Oh and I babysat last weekend and when my DB came to pick my Nephew up I asked if he and his wife enjoyed. I asked if she got drunk and he said "You could say that. I'm gonna go straight to the pub now to piss her off".

Hmm, he goes out every weekend and sometimes during the week. On the day her father (who lived thousands of miles away) died, he put a Facebook status up about a celebrity who had died....then went out on a weekend binge in Bristol with his best mate.

I'd be very upset if my brother did this to my sister in law. No real advice but sorry to read your post.

He sounds disgusting. I'd stick with your SIL if I were you.

Levismum · 28/04/2015 12:53

She's better off without him!

I'm wondering why she tolerated him for 10 years!

If my brother behaved like this i would be ashamed tat her than disappointed. Blush

If I were you, I'd keep the SIL (and therefore most probably a closer bond with your DN long-term) and ditch the misogynist loser WANKSTAIN brother.

You can't pick your family, but you can most certainly weed them out once they've blossomed.

Fuck him off. Tell him you think he's a complete turd and thanks for the memories but you reckon your SIL is worth ten of him and you'd rather continue your relationship with her if it comes to a choice.

Poor SIL, please give her your support.

Your poor SIL.

As others have said concentrate on helping her through this and forget about your dickhead of a brother.

pocketsaviour · 28/04/2015 13:24

It sounds like she'll be better off without him. What a sad situation.

I'm sure your SIL will be glad to know you're there to support her and your nephew as well.

comeagainforbigfudge · 28/04/2015 13:31

omg. I hope your DB2 told (D)B1 to do one in no uncertain terms!

Also agree with pp to stick with you SIL.

His words to my brother were "Fuck off*. Although he cheated on his wife with a work colleague. Walking out on twins and another daughter.

He has had his karma now, as OW turned out to be a complete psycho and now he lives in a grotty little flat and only sees his kids once a fortnight.

So yeah, I stuck with my SIL when other Brother cheated and that caused a massive feud
