Guy Broke Up With His Girlfriend Because She Called His Bond With His Brother Wrong, And Now He Is Asking The Online Community If He Was Right
His girlfriend didn't understand the relationship between the two brothers who lost their parents.
A sibling bond is like no other. Each one is special, unique, and sometimes not understandable to those outside of it.
When siblings suffer a tragedy like losing a parent or parents, it can either tear them apart or bring them even closer. There is no middle ground. The original poster (OP), who is 22 years old, is the legal guardian of his 15-year-old brother. He took on this role after they lost their parents.
We can only imagine how hard it is for that young man to take care of a sensitive teen, provide for him, and do his best to ensure he never feels like a burden.
Some time has passed since the loss; the wounds have healed as much as they can, and life is starting to return to normal. However, the OP's girlfriend finds the two of them snoozing on the couch together and freaks out.
She called their relationship “disgusting,” suggesting that something appalling was going on and forcing the already traumatized little brother to feel once again that something is wrong with him.
OP tried to talk to his girlfriend, but she completely gaslit him, behaving as if she’d done nothing wrong and didn’t understand why everyone was so upset.
How could it not?
So he broke up with her.
Most people in this thread definitely agree that the girlfriend is wrong, not worth the time, and that he is NTA (Not the A**hole) in this case.
And this person had some advice…
I must say I agree—what do you think?
Would you waste time on someone who misinterpreted your familial relationship so badly?
