‘ Update: What to do about my (18) brother (23) and his toxic fiance (22)’
Hey everyone! I wanted to thank you all once more for your help and support on the situation with my brother and his now ex-fiance. I took your advice and let him know that I support him and just want him to be happy, him and the ex fiance had a huge fight and we’re getting all his belongings picked up today.
He’s doing really well and it will probably take him a long time to heal from this but he’s the happiest and most relaxed I’ve seen him in a long time. After everything blew over I showed him my post and he left a little message for you all.

See what others had to share with OP:
[Reddit User] − Don’t be surprised if she tries to come back saying she’s changed and wants a second chance. Unless she’s gone through months of therapy and really worked on herself it’s a lie and things will just go back to the way they used to be. Stay strong. It’s awesome to see a family really support each other.
Yenventure − Congrats to your brother! Hope him and all your family are going to be much happier. Sending internet hugs for support, it feels really s**tty now but its gonna get better!!
Myron_Valemtime − Great news. Don’t be caught off guard if they reconnect though.
Dabbles-In-Irony − It takes a lot of courage and strength to leave a situation you have known for so long, good for you for leaving. It sounds like you have an incredibly supportive family (esp your bother, OP) so I really hope you have a happy relationship with them and eventually find a partner who respects you, them, and your relationship.
[Reddit User] − This is a great outcome as these situations can be so, so hard! Well done everybody for staying supportive and for actually getting out of there. Now block her. She’s at best m**ipulative and will likely do all sorts of things to try and get him back
[Reddit User] − It’s like a weight off your shoulders to finally get out of a terrible relationship, just immediate relief. And freedom! Thank you for updating us.
kasey123 − Omg yessssss. I thought about your brother a few days after your post and wondered what would happen. Happy for your family!!!
arden_alcott − You should be really proud of yourself and your brother! It’s clear there’s a lot of love there and at the end of the day, you trusted each other. Awesome update.
tightheadband − This brought tears to my eyes. I got out of a toxic relationship years ago (after three years) and I understand how hard it is to see the whole messed up situation from within. But this experience makes us more appreciative once we find someone who really cares about us.
666pants − That’s awesome! I’m so glad you have your brother back! He’s very lucky to have a sister like you. My brother had longtime girlfriend who was very similar to your brother’s. She was the worst.
She cheated on him, and lied about anything and everything, including being pregnant to guilt him into staying with her when he tried to leave. It took everything I had to keep my cool after I found out about that. He’s my baby brother and I’ve always been fiercely protective over him.
He met the most wonderful woman I could have asked the universe to send him a few years later and they now have a beautiful 6 year old daughter. Thank you for the update and I wish you and your family the best of luck in the future!
