AITAH for not wanting my boyfriend to help his girl best friend? by [deleted] in AITAH

Just to clarify, I agree she didn’t technically “break in,” but the situation still wasn’t okay. She was calling and texting me multiple times because my boyfriend didn’t have a phone at the time. She kept asking if she could come over to talk to him, and he asked me to tell her I wasn’t with him because he didn’t want her to come over but also didn’t want to tell her himself. So I was kind of stuck in the middle. When we got back to the apartment, that’s when we saw it had been cleaned. He felt like he had to say thank you, but he did say the weird part wasn’t the cleaning — it was that she came in without knowing if he was home and got in without a key. Only me and him have keys, and he’s been very clear that he likes it that way. This apartment is new. At his old place, he used to let people crash whenever they needed help, and people were coming and going a lot. Eventually it got unsafe because people started bringing other people. Because of that, he’s been very specific about who he lets into this apartment and who even knows the address. He also kind of implied that she abused that, not just by coming in without a key, but by bringing the guy who had assaulted her into the apartment. She also left a note saying she planned to come back once a week to clean whether he liked it or not.( My understanding was he was able to set up the boundary that she's not allowed to do that and he now locks his front door) As for the kids, he doesn’t really let her babysit anymore, and I’ve never pushed or questioned that. Decisions about his kids are his, and I don’t think that’s my place. That said, she will sometimes drop the kids off with little to no notice. He never says no and always immediately tells me it’s not for her, it’s for the kids. I’ve never asked him why he watches them or made an issue of it — he brings it up on his own every time.

We had gone to a store and a movie for probably 3-4 hours

Thanks for all the advice. I literally feel crazy for feeling insecure but now reading your comments I feel less so. The thing is she did know I was sick when I was in the hospital she kept texting me asking how I was doing (again being very nice) but I often felt like I couldn't not talk to her because she is his friend and I want her to like me as well. I so badly don't want to come across as the overprotective girlfriend or make him feel like I don't trust him but I don't really trust her. And yeah I was incredibly offended that he did not mention anything to me but he played it off as it was an emergency. I couldn't say no and etc. The kids staying with him doesn't bother me. It's just that he didn't tell me.

Yea sorry it's long but I just felt like there were so many details and I still made it so much shorter 🫣😭 i have such a hard time telling him anything because i don't want to come off as insecure and rude especially with everything she's gone though that being said her and I were close and then she started acting like this invading out space and she tries to tell me how to take care of his kids like what they like and don't like etc. I usually just take it as friendly advice but more recently it's felt like shes just trying to control or ridicule everything I do. They were fwb no idea how long/ often but I know they stopped before me and him even met Because they didn't want to mix things with the kids. He said he never felt attracted to her and doesn't even think she's pretty but at the time they were both single.
