Man Wants to Break Up Brother’s Engagement, Calls Fiancée the ‘Worst’: “Nobody in the Family Has Anything Good to Say About Her”

A man anonymously wrote to Dear Abby, seeking advice on whether he should break up his brother’s engagement. He believes his brother is “settling” for a woman who is the “worst.” 

Family dynamics can be tricky, especially when it comes to relationships. But what happens when you believe your sibling is making a huge mistake by marrying someone you think is all wrong for them? That’s the dilemma one man faced when he anonymously wrote to Dear Abby, the New York Post’s advice column, seeking guidance on whether he should intervene in his brother’s engagement. According to him, his brother is “settling” for a woman who is the “worst,” and no one in the family has anything good to say about her. 

In his letter, the man didn’t hold back. He described his brother’s fiancée as “the worst” and claimed that “nobody in the family has anything good to say about her.” He went on to explain that while his brother is a kind, successful, and attractive man, his fiancée is, in his words, “lazy, rude, and entitled.”

The man expressed concern that his brother is “settling” for someone who doesn’t deserve him and questioned whether he should step in to break up the engagement. He ended his letter by asking, “Should I say something, or should I just let it go?”

The man’s concerns stem from his belief that his brother could do much better. He described his brother as a “catch”—someone who is accomplished, kind-hearted, and good-looking. In contrast, he painted a less-than-flattering picture of the fiancée, accusing her of being disrespectful to the family, unmotivated, and overly dependent on his brother.

He also mentioned that the fiancée has made no effort to connect with the family, which has further strained relationships. According to him, “She doesn’t work, doesn’t help around the house, and expects my brother to do everything for her.”

While his concerns about his brother’s fiancée may be valid, intervening in the engagement could do more harm than good. Instead, experts recommend expressing concerns respectfully and allowing the couple to make their own decisions.

At the end of the day, love is complicated, and family relationships are even more so. The best we can do is support our loved ones while respecting their choices—even if we don’t always agree with them.

What do you think? Should the man intervene, or should he let it go? Let us know in the comments!
