What would you do if you have witnessed your brother being cruel to his wife i.e physically and emotionally abusive.Complain all the time of how selfish she is(in his opinion)only for him to tell you that he has a new family i.e he has two kids with another woman even though he is still married to his first wife

I have a brother too and if I noticed him abusing his wife, I would have to say something. I'm sure it is difficult when the person who is cruel is your own brother but that still doesn't give him the right to harm her. What if he loses his temper so bad one day that he kills her. You would feel very badly after witnessing him his wife that way. I would say to do something and do it fast. Doing something now is much better than him serving time in prision for murder. Think about it!!!!!

Well I would talk to both of them seperately. Especially to the wife, just in case she doesn't want me interferring. After all she is an adult and may not want people from his side butting in. I would talk to him too and tell him that if he is really unhappy, there is no need to hur anyone mentally or physically and isn't it better just to end the marriage since it is obviously making both sides unhappy.
However since u mentioned physically abusive then if it gets out of hand, I would complain to whioever it is important to lodge a complaint with.regardeless then the issue involves my brother. After all, she is a woman and it can get out of hand.

If I saw my brother being cruel to his wife I would definitely talk to him first. Then if that should continue...I would have both my parents sit down and have a talk with him...ok then my very last resort would be to call the cops on his *** there is no way that I am goint to let him treat a woman like that!!
Both my parents would hate me I know my sister would definitely stop talking to me and not to mention how my brother would feel that his own blood turned their back on him...but hey he asked for it!!!!

I would ask him if he really loves this woman and is their relationship a good thing in reality or a bad thing.
It sounds to me that your brother needs a wake up call about how happy he is in this relationship and whether he really wants it to continue.
But I would also ask my brother's wife how she was feeling. She can't be happy in an abusive relationship and I would offer my support to her because I would know what's going on.
If this is seen as taking sides by your brother, or your brother has a problem with that, he needs to be told straight from you how you feel about what you've witnessed and how you feel about what you've heard about their relationship. After all, if you did speak to her, you'd only be trying to help them both.

Tell his MOTHER!!! Men are always afraid of their mothers, or fathers. And, tell him that you will not stand for it, and that you will go to the police as a witness. Counsel your sister in law and tell he she deserves better. That is all you can do. Remind her that she has options, and you will never think less of her for leaving. She will leave when the time is right for her. But, validating her feelings will help immensely. Some women dont leave, because they dont feel like they have suffered enough! I know, hard concept. But, just reassure her that you wouldnt put up with it, and neither should she. Good Luck!

I would have to be honest with him and tell him what I think. I mean what would he think if your partner was treating you that way? You should ask him that! Even if it was my brother, I don't know if I would want that type of person in my life ... I would try to offer help for him to change but if it is still his choice to be this type of person anyways then I think I would have to cut him off.
Regardless though, his wife needs someone to help her. Report the abuse if you know it is happening.

It needs to be reported. There should be no family loyalty here when he is being so cruel to his wife. So much domestic violence goes unreported when it should be.
She needs to be away from him by the sound of it. He's a coward and a very nasty person.

get him and smack him around the face, let him see what it's like to be on the recieving end of a fist...how dare he....he's a bully...show him that he has to respect his wife, because i can see her walking out on him and no one will ever want to be with a bully so it's unlikely your bro will ever find himself a girl again, he may be your brother but theres a line to draw...she should be reported to the cops and locked up....or put him fae to face with a guy...see how he copes......if he treats her like that all the time then i suggest he removes himself....seems he's not a happy guy, so why is he there taking all his anger out on that poor girl..... it does not give him the rights to treat her like a doormat....give him a good belt on the gob and show him what it's like....thats exactly what he needs....

I'd report him. He is obviously a real low life. He may be your brother but he is a nasty piece of work and I hope his wife divorces him and takes him to the cleaner.

I would talk to your sister in law first ask her how she is dealing with all of this and ask her it she thinks talking to you brother might help. Just being there for her will help a lot
