My brother has negative thoughts related to his girlfriend. He feels that in past her girlfriend was in relationship with someone so he feels that her gf is not completely hers ,he feels as if he shares her with someone else even if it was past.
He has bad dreams related to her as in he sees her girl becoming like those girls who do not care about their partners feelings.Whenever he watches something then whatever negative things happens in that he starts to relate it with her as in if a girl lies to her partner then he'll think what if my gf also does this or if he sees 2-3 boys following a girl he'll think what if it happens to my gf ;he's very scared to let her go out alone.
Then he starts to reassure himself and seek reassurance from his gf.He tries to avoid everything that triggers these thoughts.
Also he and his girlfriend have a very good and healthy relationship and it feels very perfect and says his mind is not able to accept that how could someone be so nice and perfect .

There is a possibility that your brother is suffering from a disorder that is causing him to feel the discomfort. The discomfort causes him to have such thoughts towards his gf. The medications will help to ease the discomfort (anxiety, disturbed sleep, etc) but in the long run psychotherapy and counselling is required.
Next Steps
Look out for psychotherapists

Hi, I am sorry you are experiencing this. I am sure you’re having a tough time dealing with this. It looks like your brother has trust issues which could be coming from some past experience of his where his trust was broken by someone. It looks like there is some deep seated trauma in his system because of which he is experiencing fear and not able to allow freedom to himself to live and to his girl friend to do what she wants to do. We will have to work on releasing the underlying fear and then release the grief so that he experiences wellness. I understand you it’s hard to be a caregiver and trust me you’re doing a great job doing this for your brother. Rise and shine ✨

Book a session with me to help your brother to move into trust and freedom. Love and healing ❤️

Hi
Your brother can consult a psychologist and explain about the relationship. You mentioned that he and his girlfriend have a very good and healthy relationship. Your brother is really happy with his girlfriend. Even though your brother is happy with his girlfriend he is having negative thoughts. He is also having bad dreams. It is necessary to know what is causing negative thoughts. It seems like your brother could be thinking too much about the relationship. It seems like he could be thinking too much about the future and he is not able to live in the present. Do not worry with the guidance of a psychologist everything will be fine. A psychologist will help your brother feel calm. Feeling calm will help him enjoy the relationship he has with his girlfriend.
Next Steps

Hello there
I can understand what he might be feeling and going through. It might be hard for him to distract himself from negative and doubt creating thoughts regarding his girlfriend. He might be feeling anxious or possessive when it comes to his girlfriend.
Don't worry. Consult a good psychologist or counsellor for him and his girlfriend for relationship counselling as soon as possible.
You can also ask them to contact me and I will try to help them with this. Let them discuss the issues with me so that they can get towards the solution.
