So my brother's girl friend just dumped him. Like, woke up one morning, said I'm leaving and left him.
Since then she has talked to him on and off, tried to meet up with him then canceled, gone to his work and made a big deal, liked all his statuses on FB and all. He's told her he loves her and wants her back, but if she's gone, she needs to be gone. She posted stuff all about leaving and traveling away from the town they live in, etc. I texted her and told her she needed to leave him alone, she and I were friends before. I told her I knew my brother and he was having a hard time with this, and actually begged me to tell her to either come back or stay away... she didn't know what to say to me. I was polite.
Now I see that she is back with ONE of her ex-fiances. She's had about 5 of them. She's going on and on about how in love she is with her ex now boyfriend, and is posting a bunch of pictures of them together.
I can only imagine what my brother is feeling... He's been in the Army for 14 years, was married but got divorced and has custody of his 9 year old son, who loved this girl. Most of his relationships were with girls who just wanted a meal ticket. But they were together for 5 months, and she raved about how my brother was the best man she'd ever met. I'd never seen my brother this happy, and in a fully functional, happy relationship. Her ex was abusive to her, actually threatened to kill her at some point.
I really just can't believe it. I thought it was a bit of commitment issues, and she'd be back when she missed him... But I guess I didn't know very much about her. Thanks for listening to this rant, I just don't know what to tell my brother. He didn't unfriend her because he truly, truly loves her. He won't because he doesn't want to be rude... I've told him not to respond to her texts, ignore her but he still loves her. How do you help someone though something this hurtful? He has diagnosed PTSD, and though he's handled this so well, so far, I'm worried about him.
