Your younger brother married an investment banker who was a former model. She earns 240k a year, pays his student loans and the bills. The house and cars (which he now co-owns) are fully paid for.

He decided to be a stay at home husband and just plays video games, goes to sporting events or watches TV while hanging out with friends and drinks Pepsi Max while eating pizza. Doing whatever the fuck he wants all the time.

Good for him but I can not imagine that marriage is going to last long if he just does nothing all day, every day.

He is living the life he wants but his wife will eventually get tired of him not doing anything and either divorce him or cheat with someone else.

This. One person in the marriage making that much in most places would allow the other to not work. At the same time, they should be pulling their weight in some aspect of the marriage. Taking care of the house chores, food, and scheduling appointments for the both of them while the other works.

Not my marriage, so what can I do? Might judge him from a far but I'm staying out of it.

If the marriage flops and he came whining to me about it, I definitely wouldn't sugar coat it could have something to do with you being lazy while your wife worked.

I couldn't see my brother doing that, as he's pretty passionate about his career. But if he's in a happy relationship, then I'd be happy for him. I wouldn't do anything beyond congratulating him.

if the wife is fine with it, then its fine. Maybe she likes having a trophy husband? She might enjoy being a girl boss, with a man at home to satisfy her. I'd be happy for my brother for living a good life

Maybe he's got an awesome personality and can throw that dick and got some amazing cum gutters and that's all the wife wants from him.

Guys why you say he does nothing all day?

Maybe he goes shopping at Gamestop or the mall and she comes home and asks him all about it.

I know two people like that. One is lazy and the other does housework. The former is looked down upon and the latter gets praised.

I wouldn't care about his choice in relationship. If that works out for him, great. If that eventually doesn't work out for him, he's an adult and made his own choices.

I'd be more worried if I felt he were being exploited in a relationship, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

If their doing relatively fine in life and are happy then theres no reason to honestly. Especially with no kids involved as with your scenario.

Otherwise I'm to preoccupied with my own self and life to care. I'll still help with anything if they ask and I can afford it be it time or money but otherwise our life's problems are on ourselves and we won't pry.

I find Prismsblade stance to be pretty healthy. If that's cold then warm would be in micromanaging territory. Live and let live.

As long as the stay at home set up is consensual between spouses, and they understand what the other wants from it, then nothing to judge. If its one of those cases where the spouse abuses that setup or simply refuses to work until the inevitable demise of the relationship, then they are an asshole. In the latter case, I would definitely call my brother an asshole, if it ever came up in conversation, but I wouldnt go out of my way to do anything about it.

Who said anything about micromanaging?

"I don't give a shit about what my family are doing unless they directly ask me for help" is pretty cold

Most families care about each other. If a family member suddenly moved to Peru, the average family would want to know why and what they're up to.
