AITJ for telling my girlfriend she can leave with her brother if she thinks Im being unfair
-
Now don’t get me wrong, i personally would do practically anything for my partner’s family. What I’m saying is that it is so obvious where the line should be drawn. Because if your relationship is taking hits that are as hard as our guy’s relationship. Meaning, hits that are about to end the said relationship. Your partner should immediately reprioritize before their family isn’t their partner’s partner’s family. And while that sentence is a mouthful, what’s behind it is just common sense.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the living arrangements, it’s watching the dynamics shift without anyone noticing. The boyfriend’s outburst wasn’t about being harsh, it was about wanting things to feel right again. The real issue isn’t the brother’s presence, it’s the imbalance that comes when one person’s comfort is prioritized over another’s. The relationship used to be the focus, but now it feels like everyone else’s needs come first.

Girlfriend’s unemployed brother moves in, lives rent-free for 6 months, leaving the boyfriend feeling like a stranger in his own home: ‘Every night I come home and theyre playing video games together or watching movies or ordering food’
Boyfriend feels like a stranger in his own home as his girlfriend and her brother spend every night together, while the brother refuses to contribute or move out.
The brother moved in for a few months, but six months later he's still living rent-free, not helping out, and taking over the house. The boyfriend's frustration built up as he watched his relationship fade into the background, replaced by nightly gaming sessions and takeout dinners with his girlfriend and her brother. The house that used to feel like a shared space now feels like a stranger's living room, with the boyfriend barely getting a moment alone with his partner.
When he finally spoke up, the response was more about loyalty to family than fairness. The brother's presence became the center of the home, while the boyfriend's needs were pushed aside. The suggestion that his girlfriend could leave if she thought he was being unfair wasn't about ultimatums, it was about reclaiming some sense of control and normalcy. The house was his, the relationship was theirs, and the situation had stopped feeling balanced.
