 Waving hey guys. So I need some advice.
HOw do you get over your break up. My brother is 22, his first love "broke his heart", and now this 2nd one broke his heart.
He is not your typical guy.  cry I kind of wish he was, but nope hes not.  He falls to fast, and wants one girl, and only one girl. And he wants a real relationship, right now people his age just want to have fun, hook up, whatever. But my brother wants serious relationships.
Well this last girl, they went out for 8 months, he did everything for her, she took total advantage of him. He put her on his car insurance, she was living at my parents house, and the last thing was my dad loaned her $8,000 for a car. Well guess what, a week later, when we went on vacation, she broke up with him, and moved out of the house, that was in june.
So he has been real depressed. He lost his job, and the biggest kicker. He got arrested for a dui, thats another story. But now he has been moping around the house. He can't go anywhere, unless some one drives him around. What to do? It is killing me seeing him like that. Im 23, so im only a year older, but I have been married for almost 5 years. I think that maybe he wishes he could have something like I have. I don't know. I just wish I could fix this, I don't like seeing him so sad.

Any advice?

get him busy, he needs something to get his mind moving, whether it be an activity or something that he can learn. I have spent many hours studying original greek and hebrew text in the bible, sweeping, working on cars.Learning things that I have always wanted to do. Honestly he needs to learn different things and possibly maybe look @ why it is he is pursuing a relationship to begin with. Sometimes the reason is not the right thing @ least @ that time, seems to me he should seek a person with similar interests. Though sometimes opposites attract.

Tiff, I am sorry your brother is going through a rough time.  Lee is right, you need to get him involved in things.  Drag him out and make him do things.  Work with him on his resume.  If he doesn't have a degree, take his butt to a career center and get him some training for a new job.  Have your parents give him jobs to do at the house.  Every house has some repaid work that needs to get done. 

Also, get him out on the social scene.  Call some of his friends and make him go out one night. 

I know it is hard to watch him go through this.  My brother was the same way.  He finally found his wife.  But, it took a lot of heartbreak.

Just be there for him and push him if he needs it.  He's lucky to have you!

Want to hook him up with my daughter?  sunny

She would love to find a guy like your brother but she gets treated by guys the way your brother is getting treated by the girls.

Hope things will work out for him and he finds a girl who will love him for who he is and not what they can get from him. As others have said be there for him and encourage him to keep looking because the right girl will come into his life.

lol let me guess your daughter lives somewhere far away from fl right? I wish he could just find some other girl,  love but then he might fall head over heels with her. And it would just be some vicious cycle.  cry
Hopefully this weekend, we can figure out something to do, get his mind off of this. crazy tongue

update, my brother is still upset about the breakup. We got the girls mail in our mailbox the other day, and me not thinking, I gave it to my bro. SO he had to bring it to her. They met for lunch. He was actually crying at the restaurant, and she didn't care, she just wanted her dumb package. UH. So he came home, and made like a sighing sound. And went in his room and slammed the door. I knew he was upset. But didn't bother him. Me and my mom were sopposed to go shopping (thats why I was there) and so I left with my mom. My brother called and was really upset and wanted my mom to come home. So we did. And then I went to my house. hes been upset since. Ugh I wish I could just see that girl one more time.
And I would Sit on her! And Not get up until she apologizes or something to my bro. lol I don't know how to fight. But I am twice her size, so I bet I could hurt her that way.

ok Im a retard I know. I just really want to do something to make her sorry.

Tiff, at least your brother learned that they don't belong together now rather than later.   At some point in her life, she is likely to feel the pain of someone breaking up with her.  Maybe that will teach her a lesson in compassion.

Sorry your brother is having such a tough time.  He reminds me of my brother.  Honestly, the sooner you can get him out into the social scene, the better he will be.

Hope he gets through this soon.

I'm sorry to hear about your brother's troubles. The best advice I could give him is to get involved in something he likes or possibly take a few college classes. Maybe he could find a girl who is looking for the same thing. In the meanwhile he could find something that could keep him happy until the right girl comes along. Good Luck!
