for the CDC, but I&#8217;m pretty sure I am gonna catch something semi-deadly if I have to visit my brother-in-law again. My husband and I have been married for five years, and his brother has always been\u2026 let\u2019s say, a little &#8220;relaxed&#8221; about cleanliness. I\u2019m not a neat freak, but his house is a whole other level of dirty\u2014dishes piling up for weeks, trash overflowing, mold in the bathroom, and a smell that\u2019s honestly hard to describe.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The first time I visited, I tried to act like everything was totally normal, but it was so uncomfortable. I even offered to help clean in the most casual way I could, but he shrugged it off and said, \u201cI&#8217;m good.\u201d I thought maybe it was a one-time thing, but every time we\u2019ve gone back, it\u2019s the same or worse &#8211; as if that is even possible.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The worst part is there\u2019s nowhere for me to sit without feeling like I\u2019ll become patient zero for the next pandemic. The couch is covered in crumbs, mystery stains (I don&#8217;t wanna think about what those stains could possibly be), and what I <em>think<\/em> was cat hair &#8211; he doesn\u2019t even have a cat. The chairs? Just as bad\u2014sticky armrests, food residue, and honestly, it feels like I need a hazmat suit to be in the room for more than 10 minutes. Last time, I awkwardly stood for most of the visit because sitting down felt like too big of a health risk. I couldn&#8217;t even lean on the wall for fear that something would crawl down and greet me like Gladys in Legion.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve brought this up with my husband multiple times, and he agrees it\u2019s gross but says, \u201cThat\u2019s just how my brother is.\u201d He doesn\u2019t want to confront him because he never has, and he thinks his brother would blame the confrontation on me. But the thing is, I do <em>dread<\/em> going over there, and I am the only person who seems to see a problem.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Last month, my brother-in-law invited us over for dinner, and I told my husband I wasn\u2019t going. I said he\u2019s welcome to go, but I just can\u2019t sit there in that filth anymore. My husband tried to convince me, saying his brother would be offended if I didn\u2019t show up, but I stood my ground. While my brother-in-law is an absolute joy to be around and really funny, I just can&#8217;t spend time in his house.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Since then, it\u2019s been tense between us. My husband says I\u2019m being \u201cjudgmental\u201d and not supporting his family, while I feel like I have a right to set boundaries for my own comfort. I even suggested we invite his brother to our house or go out to eat instead, but my husband says that\u2019s not the same as &#8220;visiting him in his space.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>My brother-in-law hasn\u2019t said anything directly to me, but I overheard him joking with my husband about how I must \u201cthink I\u2019m too good for his house.\u201d I mean &#8211; it is kinda true. He&#8217;s too good for his house, to be honest. No one should live in that type of environment. I&#8217;m no psychologist, but I think he might be depressed. Not having us come by likely won&#8217;t help with that, but again, why should I feel like I&#8217;m gonna get the plague when he can just come see us at our house, hang out with us somewhere else, or accept my offer to help him clean. At this point, I&#8217;ll even pay for a maid service, but I can&#8217;t go back over there. I just can&#8217;t stomach it.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>So, AITA for refusing to go to his house anymore? Should I just suck it up for the sake of family harmony? Or am I justified in drawing this line?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-9053019 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no\" data-id=\"9053019\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-fab6c65\" data-id=\"fab6c65\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c6413a wpr-button-icon-position-left wpr-button-icon-style-inline elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-wpr-button\" data-id=\"8c6413a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;zoomIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"wpr-button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"wpr-button-wrap elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t<a class=\"wpr-button wpr-button-effect wpr-button-none\" data-text=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/p\/19V9yLUEqX\/\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<span class=\"wpr-button-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpr-button-text\">Comment on the Facebook Post <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpr-button-icon\"><i class=\"fab fa-facebook\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AITA for Refusing to Be a Guest in a House That\u2019s a Health Hazard?
