"I hate her family with my soul": Man ends 5-year relationship after wife sneaks her family into their home behind his back, years of boundary issues come to a head

For most people, their home is their safe place, a peaceful place of refuge. I am a total introvert, and while I do enjoy having company over from time to time, I really prefer being a guest in other peoples' homes. This is becaue in that scenario, I am able to choose when to leave when my social battery runs out. While I can also politely signal to my own guests that it's time to go home when I'm hosting, some people are not very good with subtle hints and cues, and I hate shooing people out of the door.

In our story today, a man's home is invaded by his wife's family. They are the worst of guests, pushing his boundaries far beyond their limit. When he voices concern to his wife over their behavior, she simply starts having them over behind his back. Things come to a head when our protagonist comes home to find his brother-in-law sat, feet on the couch, acting like he owns the place.

AITA for telling my wife that I'm ending our marriage because I found her brother at our house (again) and said it in front of him?

This family sounds like my absolute worst nightmare. My home is my safe haven and having it invaded by people that have 0 respect for it would have me running for the hills

The way he left was pretty disrespectful, but he had already tolerated years of disrespect from his wife and her family.
