Living with friends, can test how strong a friendship really is, especially when one offhand remark shifts the whole dynamic.

So when one man’s friend told his girlfriend that she could “do better” than to stay with him, he started questioning whether his friend really had his back.

Suddenly, the house wasn’t big enough for the both of them.

You’ll want to keep reading for this one.

AITA for telling my friend he can’t stay at my apartment anymore after he insulted my girlfriend?

I (28) let my friend “Carl” (28M) crash at my apartment for a few days while he was between jobs.

One night, Carl really started crossing the line.

My girlfriend came over the other night, and Carl straight up told her she was “too good” for me and could “do better.”

I told him that was disrespectful and he needed to apologize.

But instead of showing remorse, Carl only doubled down.

He refused and said he was “just being honest.” So I told him he had to find somewhere else to stay.

He packed his stuff and left, but now he’s telling everyone I “chose a girl over a friend.”

This situation has managed to split the friend group.

My other friends are split because some say I overreacted and others say he crossed a line.

AITA?

In this instance, he would probably be better off without Carl in his life.

Redditors chime in with their thoughts.

This commenter understands his friend’s comment much differently.

This user has four reasons why he should drop Carl like a hot potato.

He gave Carl a fair chance to show remorse, and he decided not to.

Strong boundaries are essential in times like these.

Hospitality ends the second respect walks out the door.

A real friend lifts you up, not tears you down when your guard is down.
