every family is dysfunctional to a certain degree, but my brother's wife is a real ----. long story short, he has low self-esteem and she controls him like a puppet master.

right now he has been out working in alberta since december while she has been home with their 3 kids here in ontario. she hasn't worked a day since she had the first kid 6 years ago and i don't think she will. he has had to find a job that can support their family. he is concerned with safety at his job out west and is trying to come back home but can't find a job that will pay enough to support his family. she won't go back to work either.

recently she emailed a couple pics of here middle son's 5th bd party that we were not invited to. i responded saying it looked like fun and would have been nice if we were invited. in less than 10 minutes i got a phone call from my brother out west. he hasn't called me since he moved out west and went off on me because she didn't like my response.

i'm fed up with this ---- and my parents won't say anything because then they would be cut off from their grandchildren and my younger brother just can't be bothered.

i guess i'm too emotional, i've basically lost a brother (who i used to be very close with) ever since he met this ---- 8 years ago. my younger brother and i do lots of ---- together and my older brother doesn't do ---- all with us, even before he moved away.

what would you do?

If he hasnt figured out shes a worthlss ---- yet, he probably wont... But maybe a visit, some booze, coke and a trip to the strip club being surrounded by ***** with daddy issues and a good rub and tug will help straighten him out...


Did I mention strippers LOVE coke!!!!!




Shitty situation...

You could always tell him to sell her to me.

Great response, Spiker. Class act.


Aaron, you can't help how other people are fucked up and dysfunctional. If your brother doesn't feel the familial ties and a sense of loss over what has passed, yeah that's a bitter pill. But what can you do? It doesn't sound like you are to blame in any way so don't stress over it. This is one of those situations you can't do anything about except drag yourself down.

My 1/2 brother is like that. Anytime he got a chick in his life he tells everyone to ---- themselves. I finally came to the conclusion that he's a ----- whooped kind of dude who is weak and pathetic. I havent spoken to him in almost 5 years and in reality after about a year really didnt care anymore. There is nothing you can do. If he becomes a man then he will deal with life in a normal manner. If he is run by a ---- well he will act the way she does.

Try to give her a monster mash.

If you can't talk to his wife just talk to your brother. Bitch at him if you have to and tell him to stop being a -----. That's what I would do.

I got a buddy that is like that. His GF has hit on a couple of us and done smoe shady ----. We just don't bring it up though. he is the type of guy that would be pissed at us for being a good friend and saying something.

Just try to be cool with your brother, and ignore his awful wife. He will eventually get the hint and i he doesn't then he was a lost cause anyway. Really sucks though that it is a brother, 1000x worse than a friend.

My gut reaction was to disagree and say let it lie... but honestly, it isn't like Aaron's brother is going to get any further away if the subject is broached calmly or in the form of a verbal teardown.

Give it a try?
