A woman has written to relationship expert Wendy lamenting about her boyfriend's brother. According to this woman, her boyfriend's brother is a serious drunkard and one day she tried to lecture him to stop drinking too much alcohol and work hard but all didn't go well. He attacked her and her boyfriend didn't defend her.

Just like Robert Mugabe says,

"A man who raises a hand to beat a woman, never raised his hand in school to answer questions."

"I have been in a relationship with 'James' for three years now. James and his brother 'Ross' are the closest brothers I have ever met in my twenty-three years. They are both in their 30s, and, although they have not only grown up together, they do everything together. They pursued a professional snowboard career together, they own a house together, they run a VERY successful business together, and they are simply very best friends. Since James and I started dating, Ross and I also became very close and he was one of my best friends as well. James and I were getting very close to getting engaged, and until about five months ago everything was absolutely perfect, and now everything is so messed up.

Ross has a serious drinking problem. He also is known to have major anger issues. I knew he needed to get help, so  I made a comment to Ross about his drinking problem and lack of working as hard as his brother, and he went off on me. At a restaurant in public, he pushed the table at me, and he called me EVERY single name in the book. Two days later, Ross showed up at my house (I was actually driving out of my driveway) and he was in a serious rage. He pushed me, threatened me, and verbally and emotionally abused me. He even kicked, punched, and jumped on my truck while I was in it trying to drive away. Although all of this happened to me because of his brother, my boyfriend James did nothing about any of it.

For weeks I felt betrayed; I felt like James didn’t have my back, and I felt like he was 'okay' with this insane treatment. It really upset me. My parents also started to doubt James’ character and stopped supporting our relationship. In time, I realized that James does have my back, he is just in a very hard situation. I would NEVER ask him to disown his brother, but at the same time, I cannot have a relationship with his brother ever again, and this has torn James and me apart. Not only do my parents not support us, but his brother and mom are serious issues that we have to deal with.

What do I do? I hurt so much knowing that James will never be able to have the relationship with his brother that he had if he is with me, but at the same time, he’s not trying to marry his brother while he claims to want to marry me. Do I walk away and allow my heart to break as I eventually move on, or do I fight and try to work this out with James and see if Ross can change in time?"

Gentlemen, would you defend your girlfriend if she was being attacked?
