It sounds like she has a lot more going on in her life that is more important. He may be clinically depressed, in which case he needs a good doctor and a good therapist. Start with the book, insist on the doctor & make sure someone goes with him if you can so that the doctor is getting the real story, and if that doesn't come together, let him know that if he is old enough to marry and have kids, he is old enough to stop acting like other people should cater to his wants. Other people have other things to do besides please him.

Thanks for the advice, I greatly appreciate it... My brother will not read a book by Dr. Phil.
And like you said, "doesn't know me" (bull), my brother doesn't know his dayum self!!!
He is seeing a couples counselor with his wife, but he says that is not working for him. And he "tried" (whatever that may mean) to see an individual counselor, but said that did not work out for him either...
So, he is probably being a spoiled brat and is in shock about being a 33 year old ADULT and needs to grow up now...
The fact that my parents and him live in the same city makes matters worse for his sanctity...
