I'll try to make this short, because I know you all have ADD. My bro-in-law called me the other day to tell me his is ready to leave my sister. He talked to me for 2 hours. He is desperate. My sister is nagging him constantly and nothing he does is good enough. At first I offer the usual advice...take her out, go on vacation, tell her straight out he's leaving. I also told him to give her a reality check and pack a bag and leave for a few days. That might make her notice.
Ok, about my sister. She is a scorpio. She is stubborn and hard-headed. She is the dominate one in the relationship. She is short, about 180lbs. and has 5 kids. I feel like she should stay in this relationship. Her husband bows at her feet. If she says jump he says how high. But her ex has been around lately so I think she's getting that "restless" feeling. How would you all approach this? He obviously called me because he is desperate and still loves my sister. But the problem is I'm 500 miles away and just talking to her on the phone isn't enough. Any input?
If she's that mean to him, then maybe they need to separate. This will give him time to figure out what he wants to do with the situation -- whether it be he decides to stay or divorce.
I wish I knew his sign. I've only been around him maybe 5 times. I live so far away that we only get together once a year. But he says he trusts me and he knows I'm the only person that my sister listens to. That's why he called me for advice.
Thanks IL. That's EXACTLY what he told me! He said he loves her so much that he's rather leave so she can find her smile again! I am no sap, but that actually made me tear up?
Like I said she is a big girl and has 5 kids. The grass is not going to be greener for her. I'm going to talk to her. I am the only person she really listens to and I think that is why he called me. Sort of a plea for help. He REALLY loves her and her children.
