Wow, weird evening. Bro-in-law called last night (it was dark, and dark == night) in tears. Apparently he'd *just* split with his GF of over a year. Kinda shocking, right? There is a significant age difference between the two of them, and ultimately, that is what came between them. Simply put, they are at different stages in their lives.
Sad, really. She's a great girl, and I hope to stay in contact with her, but would that be weird for BIL? He invited himself to my wedding (we took off to Vegas, only told him so someone in the family would know where we were, and next thing I knew he was walking me down the aisle and holding my flowers. AWESOME guy! Love him!) and is OH's only sibling. Not having gone through a breakup like this myself, or with any dear friends, I'm totally unsure what the protocol is for this.
BIL called for OH to come over, but OH had been enjoying a whiskey or two and could not drive, so I did. Never again to I want to see BIL like that. He looked so... well, broken. Broke my heart, really.
I think he'll be alright. He's stubborn and strong and has great friends. And us. I gained a brother myself when I got married, and he gained a sister.
Family. Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes indeed.
