My older brother (in his 60s) started dating a lady with Asperger's. She is hyper-sexual and flirty. She does not understand boundaries. Theyve been dating for a few months, and she's talking marriage. Another sibling and his wife have met her, and they have said she is never invited back. My brother always picks similar ladies. Do we speak honestly and risk losing a relationship?
Should I talk honestly to my brother about his girlfriend, risking our own relationship?
If you and your brother are open w each other and respect each others opinions then there is little risk your relationship with him will end.If there already is strong animosity, mistrust, dislike between both of you then there is more chance he will not seriously consider your advice.For your own peace of mind, say whatever you feel must be said to him.The person youll need to live with is yourself so do what you believe is needed for you to feel good about saying whats necessary.Even if he never follows through with your advice then youll still know you tried your best to advise.
