Okay, I know there've been a lot of stuff about getting advice for relationships, but this is for helping my brother before he reaches the point of no return. My brother is currently in a dead-end relationship with a girl that's pretty much a physical, emotional, and financial cancer, and she and her family have pretty much brainwashed him into staying with her lest he remains alone for the rest of his life. And this girl's father is very negative, and he seems to have rubbed off on my brother since he's now all the time cursing at others and generally being an unpleasant person to be around.

He was never like this. In fact before this girl, he was a happy-go-lucky guy with a bright future and many friends. Now all of his friends have turned away from him and the only people he ever talks to and has a pleasant conversation with are her and her family. I view her as a cancer because she doesn't do anything to advance her own career. She currently works in a sandwich shop and has the ever growing threat of student loan bills come in that she needs to pay, but won't have the money for. Therefore she wants to try and syphon the money off of my brother, and he can't afford them either with the job he currently has. And now her mother is pushing for them to get married for some reason and even has all of the starting furniture purchased and everything.

I'm very worried that my brother is going to make a mistake that he's never going to recover from if he marries this girl, and his constant angry state isn't very good for his health, despite him being overweight and already in poor health. I don't want my brother making the same costly mistakes that his girlfriend's parents have made, but he won't listen to anything that anyone else says in regards to this situation.

Any help or suggestions you guys can think of that can help my brother get rid of this metaphorical cancer would be wonderful.

Be honest with him, and tell him he has become an a**. Might make him see the error of his ways.

The only thing you can do is talk to him. However, you also need to respect that he can make his own decisions and if he refuses to do anything, you need to back off. If he makes his own bed, he's going to have to be the one to lie in it.

Also you haven't told us how he feels about her, if he claims to love her etc. If that's the case, be VERY careful what you say to him as you could turn him against you.

lol get him drunk and get him to have sex with another girl. Hopefully then he breaks up with his current g/f, or she breaks up with him. Either way they will no longer be together and he will get over her eventually

This man's a doctor, so take his advice! I'd smack him across the back of the head a few times if he doesn't quite get the point. My brothers almost in the same situation, but he's a dick and I'll let him keep diggin that hole.
