all you can really do is try and convince him that it makes a lot more sense to do the whole counseling thing BEFORE they commit themselves to being married. convince him they're putting the cart before the horse, putting pressure on the relationship such that it WON'T work.

 

the main thing is, you have to totally respect the fact that he WANTS to be with her. anything you say to convince him otherwise right now will go in one ear and out the other.

The funny thing is that after they broke up and we found out she cheated on him, became a lesbian, etc., he got all of us to hate her...he threw away her things in the dumpster...now he wants everyone to give her another chance...

 

 

 

This sounds like a bad situation for your brother and based on what you have said there seems to be no way to change his mind. The sad part is that based on his history with this girl he knows what he is getting in to and still is willing to move forward. Will she change, probably not. Does your brother think she will or has changed, probably. In this case it seems that you have to allow your brother to make this potential mistake. You can tell him how you feel about it and if he changes his mind great. If he doesn't change his mind tell him that no matter what you will be there for him.

 

Edit to add:

 

And if he does still decide to get married to this girl if nothing else try to convince him to tell your mom. Even if she doesn't agree with the marriage it would probably hurt her much more if he gets married behind her back and doesn't tell her,

29 and 17 when they met, now 35 and 23. I'm near his age, and would have a hard time trusting that a 23 year old wouldn't go through a 'phase' as they are wont to do, much less trust one who has a phase under her belt and will probably relapse around the age of 26.

 

Now, that's simply pure conjecture, but this age gap is going to mean different perspectives on life, and if she feels they aren't connecting expect a relapse.

 

This depends on their maturity and neither sound strong in that area. Bad idea.

ok, so I just emailed him this...

 

"When do you start seeing the counselor…do you think it would make sense to see what the counselor says about making the marriage official?"

 

 

You know what the response is going to be, right?
