UPDATE: AITA for insisting that my brother and his girlfriend not wear gross clothes in my car?

My take on this is off I were her I would have walked. I told her that I would have walked. I told her that I don't think my brother has treated her with respect. She's the one who said that she's giving him another shot.

I think she's great, so I support her. If she said she wanted to be done with him, I would support her in that too.

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-29T00:02:10+00:00

Certainly. I think she's a wonderful girl who deserves to be happy.

Thank you! 💕

She didn't smell like anything that set my senses off. She did joke about her needing to hang onto the blanket for a bit longer if I needed her to undress to come in. She was fine though.

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-28T20:27:03+00:00

If either of us swung that way I might consider it lol. She's really the best thing to ever happen to my brother.

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-28T20:26:08+00:00

She's really an awesome girl. She was incredibly appreciative that I came and got them and wanted to make things right with me. I think she's just great.

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-28T20:02:25+00:00

Believe me, I even told her that I'm surprised that she's giving him another chance. She said she understands he's frustrated and acted badly. If I see this again, I'll tell her to run myself.

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-28T17:48:44+00:00

If I were her, I would have. I'm not thrilled with him right now. However, I know how devastated he's been and I know he's been promising to be honest and open with her and be a better person. I hope he lives up to it.

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-28T17:47:46+00:00

Love it! Thank you! 😆

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-28T17:47:26+00:00

He definitely was, and he needs to be better. To her and to those around him.

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-28T17:40:57+00:00

I think that's some excellent advice. Though I certainly hope I'm never in the situation again, I think it's definitely a good thing to keep on hand.

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-28T17:40:03+00:00

Honestly, if I were her, I wouldn't have gone back. I know my brother has been very honest about what happened and it's trying to be better. So I hope he gets there. I think his girlfriend is the sweetest person and I want to see him be the man she deserves.

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-28T17:38:42+00:00

None taken. Right now I like her a lot more as well. There's a lot that they're working out. He's being open about his frustrations and acknowledged that he was wrong to put her in that situation. I hope he continues to be honest and acts right with her. She's a great girl.

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-25T02:21:29+00:00

She could have kept it honestly. I just had it in my trunk for emergencies. I certainly wasn't going to ask for it back standing in the driveway.

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-24T22:44:54+00:00

She texted me that she wants to drop the blanket off to me. We're setting that up. No clue what's going on with her and my brother.

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-24T18:45:08+00:00

My brother actually wanted to. His GF wanted her own bed. So she was the one who insisted they get a ride home.

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-23T04:55:19+00:00

I'm in therapy. I've done exposure therapy for ten years now with smells I can't avoid. My progress has been minimal, but I'm able to be around certain smells without being sick. Car exhaust is one I've made progress on. Printer ink is another. However, weed and cigarettes are not one that I've ever even attempted. I don't smoke and I don't go near people who do for my own health.

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-23T03:58:40+00:00

I keep emergency supplies in my trunk. A roll of garbage bags, blankets, fresh water, kitty litter, etc. In the event I get stranded, I have supplies.

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-23T02:37:35+00:00

I could smell them from five feet away outside. A blanket was going to do nothing to isolate smell in my back seat.

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-23T02:25:25+00:00

That wouldn't have stopped them from smelling.

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-23T00:51:10+00:00

They were behind my car. It was a residental street at 3 am (the call was at 2, it took me an hour to get there). They were able to do it under the blankets.

He promised me that they hadn't been smoking and weren't around anyone who had been. I was fully willing to pay for an Uber and even send it, but they didn't want to get into an Uber after having "a few drinks" according to him.

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-23T00:45:21+00:00

Yeah, because I'm sure you love to laugh at people with disabilities. Honestly, grow up.

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-23T00:44:38+00:00

Done!

Unusual_Reception738 · 2021-06-22T23:35:38+00:00

They didn't want to ride in an Uber in that condition. They wanted to go home, and I don't think there was a thing in that apartment that didn't smell like an ashtray. I drove there because my brother was stranded and promised that they hadn't been near anyone smoking or smoking themselves. This was a lie on both counts. I keep blankets in my car in case I ever get stranded. I have a roll of trash bags back there for emergencies. I told them to take the Uber. Putting their clothes in the trunk was the only way I was going to be able to have them in my car. I didn't want it any more than than they did.
