Long story short, my bf is abusive and I’ve only just now been able to admit this. We’ve been on and off for awhile and today I decided to go to my brother to talk things out with him. His wife yelled at me bc she has cancer and she said I shouldn’t-

-bother my brother with “complaining” bc it’s my choice to keep letting my problem back into my life whereas she’s stuck with hers. AITA for going to him about this ?

No you’re not. He’s your brother and his wife seems a bit controlling. P.S. Leave that man. I really do hope you heal from any trauma he’s given you. You’ll find the right one and he’s not it.

I could potentially see where she’s coming from if it’s becoming overbearing, you come over a lot, it’s the same conversation over & over especially if they already have a lot going on. That being said you’re quite literally in an abusive relationship talking it over a lot is crucial for it to click in your brain. Cancer also makes people act differently, depending on a lot of factors. There’s a lot of moving parts it seems but like #1 said just get out of that relationship ASAP if possible

this is the first time I’ve ever said anything to him 😭 he could’ve said things to her in their own time but this is literally the first time I’ve been able and willing to admit that he’s abusive and went to him about it
