My little brother recently started living with me in my 1 bedroom apartment and his gf coming over a lot is causing issues)..(He had some issues with his credit and past situations so he canāt get his own place right now).
okay so you can read some of the backstory and info that transpired below! But if too long you can just read this ! what Iām considering is the following! His gf
Iām letting him crash with me for a couple of months or maybe a year. Heās cool with sleeping on the couch (I offered my blow up mattress and bed when Iām not home). I donāt usually have guests over and I stay to myself. I work in healthcare and work over night ! My schedule is as follows
M-F ā> I work 8-5 Fri/Sat nights I work 70m-7am (overnights) at hospital. Sunday is my one day off.
My brother crashing with me is deff helping me save and stuff so it helps for sure ! The issue is his gf who has been with for years. When my brother lived with my mom, he would bring his gf over every day! My brother has a hybrid schedule so if he worked from home he would bring his gf over and she would be over all day but not spend the night. This caused issues amongst other things so he started picking her up and they would just stay parked in the driveway in the car.
They have been together 3+ years, they had a place prior but he couldnāt afford it and she didnāt work so they were evicted and then lived with my mom and she lived with her family. My brother and his gf are a package deal. He lived with my sister and her bf prior and then eventually things ended bad and he left. Then lived with my mom and that didnāt work out either.
To be clear/fair the gf was not the entire issue for why he left from living with my other family members it was just another factor for sure. He asked to crash with my brother and my brother said sure but basically his gf canāt come and he doesnāt like that they are so codependent. I get it. Weāve all been there and they are still mid 20s and Iām late twenties.
Okay so now he has been staying with me a few weeks and it is quite the adjustment. The school she attends is closer to our place so itās more convenient for her to come over or spend the night. I have no issue with her spending the night but itās becoming a lot.
She chills on the couch all day or sleeps on the couch and my brother plays on his computer most of the day when not working in my office area so my place feels crowded. My brother does not really clean so it can get messy from all their belongings and bringing this over in my small place.
My brother said he wouldnāt bring her over as much but itās starting to feel like nearly every day. She does not have a car so it makes things harder. He claims itās easier for her to come over for school but the past two times she spend the night she didnāt even go to school! I woke up for work and Iām like donāt you have school ? She is like oh sheās tired or in painā¦
Basically I work a ton and now Iām feeling overwhelmed to the point where I never have my place to myself. Then my brother is finding technicalities like when I said hey she can spend. The night on a Wednesday he literally waited until til Tuesday at 11:59 to text me like hey she can come over right because it will technically be Wednesday! Like omg š
Iām really not trying to be terrible because Iāve been there and you just want to be together but I feel like I can never come home and just rot on my couch and exist. I also have to be more mindful because I canāt walk around naked or do certain things b/c I live with any brother who is a male so out of respect obviously I canāt do certain things. She however does not care what she is wearing she feels comfortable to do whatever because itās her bf and my brother.
Iām still getting used to having someone in my space let alone 2! I said my brother could live with me not his gf! Even though my family doesnāt like her I do but weāre not close. Iāve tried but we donāt really talk or hang. Iāve invited her to stuff and my brother encouraged her but she doesnāt really want to! Which is okay! No bad blood! AITAH? what is compromise?
Please wait...
