When you break up with someone, you generally don’t owe them your time or energy anymore.

What would you do if your ex boyfriend, who cheated on you, was losing his housing and now he expects to be able to move in with you?

That is what happened to the woman in this story, and she has no sympathy for him and is refusing to let him live with her.

AITA for having no sympathy for my ex who’s about to be homeless?

My ex took a seasonal job that came with housing while we were separated, and moved the woman he cheated on me with in with him.

This is not your problem at all.

Now the job is ending, she can go live with her mom, but he has nowhere to go.

Nope, let him live on the streets.

He did all of this while I had just had a baby, and called me crazy for the way I reacted while heartbroken and angry.

But now he keeps crying to me about his situation.

She is 100% right.

After the way he did me, I won’t let him stay with me at all, even if it means he will be completely homeless.

My prerogative is, he made his bed, now he can lay in it.

AITA?

She is absolutely right. She has no obligation to provide her ex with housing no matter what they reason for their breakup, but especially not after he cheated.

Read on to see if the people in the comments feel the same way.

If it is his baby, she needs to get the courts involved.
