Weeding through red flags when it comes to relationships may be easier said than done. Dealing with it yourself is one thing, but watching your siblings go through it is another.
Unfortunately, a division between family members due to a horrible spouse is more common than we think.
You may see a beautiful person inside and out, while your family members have a completely different perspective on that person, and not for the better.
A woman’s much older stepbrother has been dating a girl for six months.
He has been married once before with two children from his previous wife. On top of his divorce, he has PTSD from the army, which led to heavy drinking and bad anger problems.
After his first divorce, he was dead set on not getting married again until he met his most recent girlfriend.
Almost two years ago, their grandmother passed, and the mom asked the step-brother to move into their home to be closer to his kids. She even offered a place for his girlfriend.
While this sounds like a sweet gesture, it may not have been the best idea.
“This girl is the most immature and lazy person I have ever met in my life,” she explained.

“She is nearly 10 years older than me. She refuses to wash dishes, she is a manipulator, a liar, and only wants to start drama.”
“She also cannot stop arguing with him and putting him down every chance she gets.”
She hates the sister and her husband, who also live in the home. The girlfriend refuses to get a job and continues to adopt pets. Since she doesn’t clean, the house is a mess leaving the living conditions unbearable.
Unfortunately, any type of confrontation causes a massive screaming match. This type of behavior has driven a toxic wedge between the family members. To make matters worse, the boyfriend doesn’t even notice it.
Now since the girlfriend has been hounding him about a ring, he decided to propose so the “arguments would stop.”
While she should be excited for her stepbrother, she is horrified by the situation. Even though they do not have a date set, she is already deciding that she wants to prove a point by not attending the wedding.
