📝 AITA for not supporting my brother’s (M30) relationship with his GF (F32)?

Honestly that’s it. No drama, yet. I just don’t think they’re suited for each other or even in love, so I don’t see the point. She’s ok! I wouldn’t mind getting close to her, that is, if my brother liked her. Here are my observations:

  • he’s stingy with her
  • they’re dry as hell, and when they’re not, it feels forced
  • before talking to anyone about her, he always describes her as “not my usual type” or “not initially convinced”??? wtffff
  • will literally check out other women in front of her, and others
  • When someone asks him why this girl, he’ll say that they’re the same religion, or talk about her family and say nothing about her, like at all?
  • One time he brought her to my family’s house and dumped her there with my mom and I, because he was going to a buddy’s birthday party while there was a literal emergency situation at her apartment building and she couldn’t access her place until further notice. Bro came back back 3 hours later with a bag of chips for her
  • Bro ignores her in social gatherings
  • random people (INCLUDING ME) are invited to their dates ??? So he ends up talking to his buddies instead of her at all

Things he HAS done: Did he learn her foreign language? Yes, but he’s already a polyglot. And lowkey, my brother is the best this girl could do (financially, etc). But they both deserve better!! They give friend vibes at best. My brother is visibly happier with my dog. She needs a person who CHERISHES her. And he has previos trauma because the only time he’s been REALLY in love, he was hella used. They’ve only been dating for 6 months, and he is already talking about marriage. No one in my family is convinced, many of his friends aren’t either… I just ignore them when they visit, or avoid hanging out with them at all. I don’t wanna get dragged to another date where we pretend his GF doesn’t exist. So, yeah, AITA? Do men do this often?
