Update: WIBTA if I kick my boyfriend’s sister out of our house?

Previous post here

Hi everyone, I meant to post this on Monday but I’ve been busy so here it is now.

Emma and my boyfriend (Tom for this update) both left last week and went to stay with their aunt. Emma is staying there until her parents are back, Tom was staying there for a week to give me space.

Tom came round on Saturday evening so we could talk about our relationship and everything. Long story short, I broke up with him. Reading all the comments made me realise that I’d been walked all over by him and his sister for too long. Enough was enough. He’s been back and forth over the last few days to get his stuff and I think he’s staying at a friend’s house while he looks for a place to rent.

Obviously I’m sad about the break up because I did think I’d spend the rest of my life with Tom but this whole situation has made me realise that I need to be selfish and put myself first for once in my life.

As for a Emma, she’s on a strict curfew and money will be sent to her aunt to cover her expenses. Her aunt has said she’s on a three strike policy but, to be honest, I don’t care anymore. Emma is not my responsibility and never actually should have been.

The money Emma and Tom’s parents sent to me has been used in two parts:

  1. Covering all expenses Emma racked up like the cleaning bill etc
  2. A very very nice spa trip for me. Some friends are coming with me and we all can’t wait (my parents are going to look after the dogs). I’ve booked myself a full body massage and a champagne afternoon tea.

So yeah, that’s the update. I’m now single and have my house back. Honestly, I couldn’t be happier despite the break up.

Thanks to everyone who left comments and helped me find my backbone.

    How did Tom react to the breakup? Did he regret his actions?

    Good for you. Tom sucked. Did you find out if he was pocketing the money?

    Did Emma end up keeping the money her parents were sending for herself or was she giving it to Tom?

    This is a great update. You seem to really have your shit together for only being 25. I don’t know you, but I’m proud of you.

    NTA – If she’s living in your home and crossing boundaries or causing problems, you have every right to tell her to leave.

    Good for you. I’d have handed him a mop and a rag and made him clean up after her, though. It’s his sister, so her mess can be his problem. But it’s passed that, so at least you got your money back.
