My bother is about to break up with his LTR (again). They have been together for over 10 years and they have 3 young kids. It's painful to watch. They broke up something like two years ago and staid apart for a year. But then went back together (I was surprised) and have been together for a year again now. I think she took him back mostly cause she just couldn't raise the kids by herself with her working full time on a job that requires a lot of traveling. If you look at her social media, it's blasted with her and the kids, not a single photo on sight about my brother. When they break up, she is also about to get a lot of my brother's assets as my brother was fool enough not to secure himself and the apartment is on her name although he paid more than half of it. I think she has lost respect for my brother, at least somewhat. They are both in their late 30's.
My brother is a difficult and closed-up person and he doesn't want to get advice from anyone. He gets offended if anyone wants to teach him something, so it's hard for me to do anything. But it's so painful to watch and it affects me too as I do business with him occasionally. So I was thinking is there a way I could give him some information in a more 'gentle' way like he would have found it himself or something. I think it's a lost cause but I think I would like to do something as it seems he is doing really counter-intuitive things.
I think my brother is a blue-billed, hard-working family man, putting family first. He is no push-over but he is not a great socializer or communicator. I do know that he can be difficult to communicate with from my own experience.
Some time ago I stumbled on a great Reddit post about steps one can take in this situation, in case he still wants to salvage the situation. Like when they have not yet broken up but it seems it's going in that direction. But all these of our subreddits put in quarantine, I cannot find it anymore in Google search. It seems Google has really fucked up Red Pill's findings, only finding the warning articles not to take Red Pill advice :D
The post included obviously dread/lifting/socializing/getting game in order but it was a long and great post. I'm sure there are others like it. Can someone point me in the right direction, please? Would be very grateful!
