Okay, I think my brother is a controlling ******* toward his fiance, even though he is NOT abusive. It's very bizarre to me. But I'm so close to the situation, I don't know if I might be overreacting, what do you think?
1) He and his fiance (and they were engaged after only 5 months), have been like siamese twins since DAY ONE. They literally go nowhere alone and are very rarely ever apart.
2) The other day, she went upstairs (without informing my brother) and he goes through the house yelling, "baby! baby! where are you" and then when he finally finds her he's like, "Don't do that, I didn't know where you were. I was worried". Keep in mind, this woman is 22 years old.
3) He treats her like she's five years old. "Baby, what do you want to drink?". He tells her how to do everything, whether they are cooking or whatever else. She was making toast, and it came up pretty browned and he was like, "Oh, that's pretty burnt, you probably don't want that" and she's like "No, I actually like it a little more burnt than that" And he's like, "No, you don't want that, that's really burnt."
4)If she cuts herself, it's like she's his child. "Come on baby, go in the bathroom so I can clean your cut. WE need to clean your cut." Everything is WE and US
5) Two hours before she has to leave for work, "Is all your stuff ready for work?" "Yeah" she says. "I just wanna make sure you're ready so you're not late. Are you sure you have this and this and that?" Again, the girl is 22 years old. Another time, when she was having tooth trouble, he told her she didn't floss enough. So she got out the floss and started flossing. And he goes, "No you're not doing it right" and proceeds to FLOSS HER TEETH FOR HER
6)He's making steaks outside on the grill. She's laying on the couch reading a book. Every five minutes when he goes to check on the steaks, "Come on baby come out with me and bring your book while I check the steaks"
