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 can be hard to explain to anyone who has not lived it. For this 22-year-old, that bond became even stronger after he lost his parents and stepped in as the legal guardian of his 15-year-old brother.
Life had started to settle into a new normal, until his girlfriend walked in on the two brothers asleep together on the couch and reacted badly. She called their closeness “disgusting,” and that one comment reopened old wounds for the younger brother while putting the relationship on shaky ground.
Now the breakup has happened, and the internet has plenty to say about it.
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?
That was the breaking point.
This is similar to the OP who questioned their brother’s new girlfriend at a family reunion.
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?

Some relationships do not survive a moment like that.
