Just because you used to be close with your sibling, that doesn’t mean you always will be. Things change. People change.

See why these brothers are not happy with each other.

AITA for distancing myself from my brother?

My brother has been seeing his girlfriend for about a year and a half.

I strongly dislike her. We live together in the USA, but she is here all the time.

In the short time they’ve been together she has already cheated on him.

But that’s not all she does.

She doesn’t work, just spends his money. She argues with me every chance she gets.

I’ve also been approached by people who told me she talks about me behind my back. She is disrespectful to other family members, and there was also another event I won’t get into but think bad mental health outburst and you’ll get the jist.

So I’m not talking to my brother. It’s been a few days but our relationship slowly tarnished in the previous months. We used to talk and hang out everyday, now I can’t even tell you the last time we hung out.

It’s a very hard situation.

He’s very hung up on this girl and the thought of her ever being my sister-in-law or mom to my nieces and nephews makes me sick.

I’m also sick of being disrespected where I live and I don’t have the option to go anywhere else.

AITA for deciding to just fully ignore the both of them going forward?

Here is what folks are talking about.

Absolutely. These things affect your physical health, too.

I have a feeling they weren’t candid with each other.

That’s a lovely idea.

Exactly. It’s their goal, I think.

My guess is that he can’t leave because of money.

I hope they become close again. How sad.
