I really don't like this guy (sister's partner)! He likes fixing things and considers himself a handyman. The issue is, he likes fixing things that aren't broken! So it ends up becoming useless! Can somebody please tell me how to fix his damaged brain?

I wouldn’t get involved in that, especially if he’s your sister’s partner.

That's why I don't say anything at all. But I really want him out of her life. Everybody does!

@toniganzon Oh, dear. He must be pretty bad news for everyone to feel like that.

That certainly is unfortunate. I wish I had some useful words because I know that has to be frustrating.

@toniganzon Oh, no. And she’s not going to kick him to the curb anytime soon?

I think that fixing a damaged brain is not possible, try to ignore this guy.

OH I am but I can't ignore the fact that I cannot use some of the stuff in the house because he has broken it. The house itself is a mess. The good thing is, now that I live here and staying on the second floor, he couldn't touch anything here anymore.

@toniganzon That is annoying, at least he should not touch what is not broken. I am glad you live on he second floor and you cannot touch your things.

I could break his head. I once kick him in the legs. That was a mistake! I should have kicked his head instead.

But my question is "has he ever fixed anything that was broken?" Seems silly to be fixing things that aren't

Let him have his “handyman” moments lol. Honestly, not your problem. Just let him do his thing and don’t stress about it. It is what it is, even if it doesn’t make any sense haha
