writes: I have a brother who's in his mid 30's. About 4 years ago his fiance had an affair. Even though they had been going out for a while (think for 5 years) the signs were obvious that it wasn't going to work but he would ignore them. Both were going different paths etc.The point is in those 4 years although in terms of his career he has done extremely well, he's changed but not in a good way. I know he was devastated when she left him (she's married now with person in affair) but he hasn't had a girlfriend at all, he no longer socialises with friends and work colleagues and in the last few months he has stopped seeing me and the rest of the family.I actually met his ex the other day told her what had happened to my brother and she was devastated. my parents, especially my mum is heartbroken, as it's clear that he is not happy since the breakup. Before he even met his last girlfriend he always talked about having a family.What should I do to make him happy and start socialising again?

Do some of the things that you two haven't done together for a long time whatever that may be, then work from there. The thing about socializing can come later when his foundation has been repaired and his mind powered up again.
