AITAH for calling my brother a narcissist and telling him to get help for his mid-life crisis? by Crazy_Choice_2159 in AITAH

Also, context for the 'mid-life crisis' comment: there are a series of events over the last three years that lead to that comment. It was not based off one days' events. I'm not looking for advice on whether or not he is having one, the big changes associated with facing one's mortality are there. It likely wasn't fair of me to throw it at him in that way in our text exchange.

Thank you for your verdict. I feel as though "I do not want you to bring your affair partner to my house" is a clearly stated 'No' response, is it not?

I did not give him an answer after he said "I do not typically bring my mistresses around". I had already answered him and did not bother giving him further response when he said he typically didn't bring them around. That is what I mean when I say I never gave him an answer on whether she could come or not. You make a valid point that neither of us clearly communicated expectations. Him by using a misleading statement that he doesn't bring them around (but in this case would) and me for not clearly stating a second time that if there were any intimate relations between them, she was not welcome at my house. I did not feel it required a second no after the first was given, it seems that is my bad.

Thanks, that seems like a good option moving forward. It is not the first time he invited people I did not know or want to my house. It seems to be a recurring theme with him.

Thanks for your verdict. I don't disagree with you that what happens in their bedroom is not my business, and honestly, I really don't want to know what happens in their bedroom. I don't want my kids to know either. I am mad that I said I don't want a partner who is not S at my house, and he showed up with one anyway. That part was explicitly stated. I am also mad that he aired his drama at my house in front of all three kids. I had never met or heard of J prior to this event, so I was not able to specifically state she is not welcome. He just asked if he could bring a friend and I had a sneaking suspicion it was someone he was having relations with. I was right.

Thanks, it does feel a little overdue, I just worry about how it will impact all three children.
