Stories like this are very rare. Cheating is Occam's razor. Regardless, OP should tell their friend so they can figure it out for themselves. I'd probably wait until after Christmas since it makes no material difference and might as well not ruin the holiday, but they deserve to know.
I've got an idea. It sounds like he's east Asian, and his gf is some sort of European descent.
I imagine he has had those conversations with his gf, but she simply didn't believe him, not out of malice, but being unable to imagine such a family dynamic exists. I know this because I've gone through it first hand myself.
It's like a dog lover being convinced that everyone loves puppies. Sure, most do, but not everyone.
We’re pretty open about that sort of thing, she lost her job a month ago unexpectedly. Which has put a lot of stress on both of us, but I noticed it before well before that. She’s also less interested overall even when it comes to sex. Used to be 2-3 times a week a year ago, now I’m lucky if I get anything once a month. Which I attribute to her putting on weight and that’s fine, but the constant rejection I think is also an issue for me. Idk, I get that it’s her body and all but I also have needs
Id bet the brother has been putting ideas in his head and he has latched on to them. I have seen it happen before. I know I wouldn't be able to move on quickly either. Your reaction is very normal. He may come crawling back when he realises what he left behind. My advice would be to take your time. Do things for yourself. If he wants to come back that's something only you can decide to let happen. Its a rocky road but you'll find what you need.
Yes. Mental health is no joke. I’ve seen enough comments here point out how men leave partners at a high rate when they get serious illnesses. Depression is serious. You should support and help your partner, not leave them (assuming the relationship isn’t abusive, etc).
I’ve been in his shoes before. My SO didn’t leave me in the dust, she helped me get back on my feet. Yes, it took some work from my part and from hers. But she helped me at the end of the day. I don’t know why it’s so naked to believe that people want what’s best for their partners.
Why would your taken guy friend not liking your thirst traps disrupt your friendship? Girls typically understand respecting your girlfriends wishes and if my bf were to like one of his female friends thirst traps they'd hit me up before I even noticed and ask if that was an okay with me thing.(no I'm not controlling they just know they'd be uncomfortable with that in their relationships)
Then this woman is absolutely not right for you.

You're gonna get down voted for having common sense.

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Talk to a lawyer about getting a prenup to protect pre marriage assets and inheritance.
Make sure you Dad has a written will about how it will be divided.
A sceptical person would suggest they want you to remove your name so the amount is split differently when your Dad passes.
I think the main difference with what I know from relationships here is that people mainly focus on one person.
