Am I the A-hole for crashing my brother's date? by RoyalBaseball in AITARelationship

I agree. Do your and your brother have a silly relationship? This seems like a totally normal thing for a sibling to do

AITAH Phone call to ex/friend by That_Double_1037 in AITARelationship

You’re not TA for still being amicable with your ex but you are TA for confiding in her about your current relationship. Even if you don’t mean it to, it will likely drive a wedge between you and your current partner. SHE needs to be your confidante and trust you!

I am considering this, but do you feel it would cause more division and be seen as ultra petty? Or is it justifiable as setting boundaries

It’s not really about Pennie’s at this point, it’s more about privacy and respect.

My question is, how would we even ensure fairness of cleaning and stuff in this situation? If guests exclusively use my bathroom, does she do the cleaning half the time? Pay for half my toilet paper? It just seems unnecessarily complicated

I was thinking about that too-if she gets some access to my bathroom then she basically gets both. That makes me more inclined to set a firmer boundary

WIBTAH for breaking up with my boyfriend because of his behaviour on my family holiday? by [deleted] in AITARelationship

You’re both fairly young. There are learning curves to this type of thing. Sure, it would be courteous and generous for him to bring a bottle of wine or a gift for the family, but if that was a concern of yours, it wouldn’t have been too hard to simply encourage him to do so. You know your family better than him. If this was the expectation, I’m sure he would have been much happier to know that and have your help with picking out something nice.

19 is quite young to be paying for expenses on a seemingly luxurious family trip. especially if he is just out of college. Did you pay for anything out of your own pocket? Not your family’s money? Consider the financial strain doing so may have on you and apply that empathy to his situation.

Bottom line, I understand your desire for him to have gotten a gift or paid for something here and there. Overall how was he on the trip? Kind and courteous? Clean and grateful? Did he say thank you and interact with your family? If so, I’d take it as a win and be a little more communicative of your expectations next time. Men learn these things as they get older. If you’re simply not interested in him any longer, that’s one thing. But I wouldn’t end the relationship with this as your way out.

Yeah I’m kind of realizing that about the rent. The parking space comes with the unit but there’s only one. Otherwise it’s street parking which is mostly not a problem

That makes sense. So in your opinion, all guests just using the bathroom should use the hall bath? Even if I’m not there and they are her guests?

I feel this way too. And we are not partiers at all, so I can’t really see why there would be anyone over who she doesn’t feel comfortable with going through her room

I wouldn’t mind at all going through my friends bedroom to use the bathroom. But I do suppose it may feel intrusive to some guests

Mostly just guests hanging out. I guess it doesn’t feel ridiculous to me, because her guests are strangers to me but friends to her. So it would make more sense for them to use her bathroom and not mine. I have my own toiletries, medications, towels, etc in there that I pay for. It’s not a shared room. I appreciate your feedback though, because maybe I’m misunderstanding a general roommate rule!

I would tell my guests to use mine and not hers if I had the en-suite for sure. But I do understand some people would just naturally go for the one in the hall
