I would never say someone who humiliates a lifelong friend of their "love" a good person, that's what she does. Another HUGE no-no, coming between brother's. Yes, she has done that too. Of course it's hurtful to see this go on. And of course, I will do nothing about it. His life, his mistakes & this is a BIG one.
People have to make their own mistakes, c'est la vie. This includes knowing when to stay out of other people's business.
If your BF's brother is 47 and 'new to dating', one can only assume he is divorced himself or some equivalent. This means he has his own issues. Water generally finds its own level. Support him if appropriate (generally this means he asks) but do not stick your nose in unasked.
Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.
