People show their true colors when the pressure is off.

Imagine letting your partner live with you rent free. Would you still let them live with you if you broke up?

This man was kind and generous to support his girlfriend and her best friend when they were both struggling.

Even when jobs came and went, he stood by her, hoping they were still working toward a shared future.

But when she stumbled upon a better opportunity, she decided to end things with him.

Read the full story below for all the details.

AITAH for telling my ex to leave after they broke up with me and expected to keep living with me rent free.

The gist of it is, about two years ago, I let my girl and her best friend move in with me.

The plan was they would both move out here and find a job.

I would handle most of the house bills, and they would buy stuff for the house while saving up for us to move somewhere bigger.

This man was understanding about his GF and friend’s situation.

It starts off rocky, with them taking a while to get a job and contribute, but they did move out here, so I tried to be understanding.

Well, not even 4 months into this, they both start to call out of work frequently until the job barely puts them on the schedule.

And so, the little bit they were contributing stopped.

He eventually grew tired of his GF’s friend.

My girl does eventually get a new job, but her friend just quits hers.

So my girl ends up supporting her and can’t help with anything else.

After a while of this, I got fed up with the friend,

I told her she needs to find a job or DoorDash or something other than lay around the house all day.

The friend left, so it’s just him and his girlfriend.

She immediately moves in with some rich guy she met online.

Cool, now it’s just my girl and me, so I think we are about to lock in.

Nope, after about 2 months, her new job fires her.

She gets a job at Amazon, which she also quits.

Then, she gets a job at an HVAC company as a salesperson.

Out of the blue, his GF wanted to break up with him.

Now, we are almost caught up.

This whole time we are pretty close, and even during the hard times, I feel like we have each other’s back.

Well, at the beginning of this month, my girl gets an offer for a new job which pays a lot better.

And out of the blue, she wants to break up.

But she wanted to continue living with him until she got a new place for herself.

But here’s the kicker.

She wants to continue living with me until she gets her own better place (our original shared goal, if you remember) while still not paying anything.

I tried to put my feelings aside and told her I was fine with her staying if it could actually help out until she left, which she said she would.

When he finally had enough, he kicked her out of his house.

Well, that turned into weeks of not only nothing, but also being ignored and other hurtful actions.

So, I finally had enough and told her to leave.

Thing is, now I feel like a jerk.

AITA?

She broke up with him. She can’t expect to still live with him.
