📝 AITA for falling for my boyfriend's brother after he humiliated me?

I (22F) had been dating Tyler (24M) for two years when he decided our anniversary was the perfect time to tell me, "You’ve let yourself go. My ex would never have gained weight like you." The worst part? He said it in front of his entire family at dinner.

His older brother, Jake (26M), was the only one who spoke up. "You’re a piece of shit," he told Tyler before following me outside. I was sobbing, mascara everywhere, but Jake just handed me his hoodie and said, "He’s wrong. You’re beautiful."

After that, Jake checked on me daily. He remembered my coffee order, sent me stupid memes when I was sad, and when Tyler called me "pathetic" for crying over his cruel comments, Jake punched him.

Now we’re together. Tyler is furious, screaming that I "stole his brother," but AITA? He broke me—Jake was the one who put me back together.
