The author expresses concern for his 22-year-old brother, who is in a troubling relationship with a possessive girlfriend. This pattern mirrors prior relationships that were also problematic. The brother's current partner displays controlling behavior, lies frequently, and has begun isolating him from friends and family. The author wrestles with whether to voice concerns without appearing to meddle, but is encouraged to approach the conversation with love. It's emphasized that having doubt is acceptable and communicating worries can offer new perspectives, possibly averting an abusive situation.
It's OK to have doubts. And it's OK to communicate your concerns to him in a way that's rooted in love.
Hearing the perspective of a loved one could open his eyes more. Failing that, at least your conversation can remind him that he's got others to depend on.
It's commendable to trust his judgment, but given his history, discussing your concerns is necessary to prevent potential abuse.
