GirlsGuideTo | Question: Ok so my brother (28) recently got...

Ok so my brother (28) recently got a divorce. His ex-wife just walked out on him and our family with no explaination what so ever. She has been in our family for over 7 years (5 they dated/engaged and 2 were married) and has become a sister to me.

After she left, he started dating this 19 year old. It's tearing my parents to shreds and they know he just needs a rebound, but we fear she may try to plan an unexpected pregnancy. We think she knows she is just the rebound and is looking to make sure he doesnt go any where. If we talk to him about it, he just pushes further from us.

What should we do to make him realize what's happening without him pushing away? HELP!

How long has your brother and this other girl been together? If they haven't been seeing eachother for longer than a few months, I wouldn't be concerned.

I would say that you need to sit down and have an open discussion, kinda like an intervention lol ;) Let him know that you all love him and respect his decisions, but you have misgivings about this girls and their relationship. He's probably going to be defensive about it because most people would, which totally sucks. And then make sure you really listen to him and make him feel like he's heard. I'm sorry you're going through this...family crap is the worst...
