Dad Kicks Out Son Who Slept With His Other Son's Wife to House the Same Son Who Got Cheated On
He ruined his own brother's marriage and got what he deserved.
One family fallout turned into a housing decision that nobody could ignore. A father ended up choosing between two sons after one of them crossed a line that shattered a marriage and split the household.
He shared the situation on Reddit after kicking out Andrew, the son who slept with his brother Jack's wife, and letting Jack move in once he could no longer afford the motel. That choice set off a wave of reactions, with people arguing over loyalty, consequences, and what a parent should do when both children are hurting.
Now the whole family is stuck with the aftermath. Read on.
Here's the original Reddit post by u/choseotherson:

Here's how Reddit users reacted to u/choseotherson's situation:

This reaction was blunt from the start.
He can go live with his brother's ex now.
Reddit
Seeing your child hurt like that is something no one wishes to go through.
Reddit
Thankfully, Jack has loyal friends who are helping him during these difficult moments.
Reddit
Another commenter had no patience for Andrew.
How could you do something like that to your own brother?
Reddit
These are just the consequences of his actions.
Reddit
He should have been looking for a job, not doing that.
Reddit
The cheater got the house in the end. Life is definitely unfair.
Reddit
Plenty of people thought the father handled it the only way he could.
It’s hard not to think about the brother who damaged the family home and then demanded re-entry, too.
Any sane parent should have a similar reaction.
Reddit
It is none of their business. OP doesn't have to explain himself to anyone.
Reddit
The relatives are unwilling to house him, yet they still complain.
Reddit
Andrew is responsible for looking after himself.
Reddit
And the comments only got harsher from there.
Some people have no shame at all.
Reddit
Cheaters do not always make the best decisions.
Reddit
Andrew wishes he had a bed now.
Reddit
He took the risk and faced the consequences.
Reddit
He could have chosen not to ruin his brother's life.
Reddit
Only good people receive help when they are struggling, not a-holes.
Reddit
The final take was just as unforgiving.
The only a-hole here is Andrew; he betrayed his brother and destroyed his marriage. OP did the right thing by housing Jack and kicking Andrew out.
Andrew doesn’t deserve temporary free housing after what he did, and Jack needs it now more than ever. He’s going through some tough times, and he needs all the help and support he can get.
OP is definitely not the a-hole; what he did was good parenting, and hopefully, Andrew will learn from his mistake and somehow earn his brother’s forgiveness. As for Jack’s ex, she should’ve been the one living in a motel, not him.
Before you judge Jack’s dad, read why one brother refused to lend money despite in-law pressure: the AITAH dad who said no to a financially reckless brother.
