'Freed' bro going back to bossy ex

IN 2024, I helped my brother to leave his bossy, controlling partner.

SECOND CHANCE: He left her because she was a nightmare but now wants to go back

My husband and I whisked him away from their flat while she was at work and gave him a room in our home.

For weeks he sobbed and refused to get up while she threatened to ruin and destroy him. It was a horrible, frightening time but I rescued him.

Now he keeps talking about her in glowing terms and I despair. After Christmas I held a party here and he entertained my new neighbours with several “hilarious” stories involving his horrible ex and their time together. He called her his soul mate.

Now I feel let down and ridiculous. Why did I bother?
