After five years, a 27-year-old woman broke up with her boyfriend because his older brother kept sexually harassing her. Two years into the relationship, the brother started sending her inappropriate messages. He asked her personal questions about her sex life and later made explicit comments about her body. Even though she was uncomfortable, she didn’t say anything at first to avoid a fight because she knew her boyfriend idolized his brother and didn’t take her concerns seriously.
When she finally told her boyfriend about the brother’s bad behavior in the past, he brushed it off and said it was her fault for texting him. The harassment got worse and turned into sexting, with the brother saying he was the only one who could “satisfy” her. She sent her boyfriend screenshots of the messages, cut off all contact with her brothers, and blocked both of them. She felt sick and alone. Her ex now says she was unfair, but she thinks leaving was the only way to keep herself safe from more disrespect and breaking of boundaries.
AITAH I left my boyfriend because his brother kept sexting me?
