When your family members become friends with your partner, breakups can get spicy. I've seen it happen countless times within my own family, and it's always a recipe for some good ol' fashioned family drama. It's only natural that your family form their own relationships with your partner. It's incredibly healthy and should be encouraged (if you have a healthy family dynamic.) But, people do grow apart and fall out of love. Sometimes things just weren't meant to be. So when your now-friend spits from their partner, your family member, what do you do? Ideally, an amicable relationship on all sides would be possible, but it's often not. So then you have people "choosing sides," and that's when the drama starts.
In that way, I can see how it would be hard for this brother-in-law to watch his family member move on from a relationship with his friend, but when you're family, sometimes you need to learn when to keep your mouth shut.
