My brother is getting married this summer.

Already lives with her. She has a kid. They fight a lot already (seems like usual shit testing and emotional blackmail). She is EXTREMELY jealous of any and all women my brother talks to (usually leads to some kind of fight (I wonder how many dudes she talks to)).

At first I thought he had nothing to lose because he doesn't make a ton of money and she makes slightly more than he makes. Not the case at all. She is already draining him in a plethora of ways.

He says he is depressed and he is going to counselling (hasn't needed this ever before).

She is draining him financially. He works full time when he didn't before. He is even more broke somehow now (I suspect some kind of heavy handed financial control on her part).

He has much less free time and what he does get has to pass through the committee of one vagina for about a week prior to approval. Cancels plans all the time, etc.

Basically, they might have some kind of connection or some bullshit but it seems like A LOT of retardation especially this early in the game.

I don't tell him what to do but I do warn him and express my personal views. He is still going through with all of this. He usually says "yeah she can be bad, but she calms down".

Another big part of this is that they've already made wedding plans and my (our) mother is all gung ho about carrying out said plans. I think he feels even more obligated at this point.

He's open minded about what I have to say and I've told him pretty much everything wrong with marriage/relationships. I've warned him that even if he doesn't have money to lose right now, he could very easily wind up owing child support and paying for legal fees until the end of time.

I'm also the best man.

Not much I can really do I suppose. However, if anyone has any ideas I'm all ears.
