Because of what happened to him? Or because you lost your basement?

Whomp - both my dad and uncle moved in with their sister (my selfless aunt ) her kids and husband within a month of each other while they both were going through divorces at the same time.

My dad was the cheater - my mom threw him out . My uncle was the victim of violence so he needed to leave to keep himself safe and his wife would not go within a few miles of his sister at that time.

They were all like properly over 45 during this time and we made light of it because how often do you get to live with your siblings again in middle age ! My grandparents loved it. It was cute. A special time.

Eventually everyone moved out and got remarried :).

Try to make the best of it - and be sensitive to what he is going through. Siblings can certainly provide comfort and support to one another in a way no one else can, but don’t worry eventually everyone finds their way . He won’t be living within y’all forever . 🤞🏽Maybe use this time to connect with him and learn more about him as an individual now that he’s not coupled up. Good luck!

I’ll never get why isn’t the other person the one moving out in these cases

I’d like to preface this post with saying I was in a very toxic relationship previously. I went to therapy, healed myself, and now feel I have found someone very healthy. He self reflects, he listens, he’s present, he makes me feel heard (mostly). With all that said, I can’t stop feeling like he’s only giving me the bare minimum. I do a lot of the small things, make sure I’m hitting all his love languages daily, and I keep feeling like he thinks he’s doing everything to keep me happy, but

Perspective check:

I'm an SA, and my fiance is finishing up her residency and loves the medical field. I make good money and have a house but I feel like the relationship and the obligations (house, family) are anchors and holding me back from living my life. I want to sell and live on the road, traveling and being free.

I love my fiance and my family but I just want to quit everything and just hit the road.

Am I being dumb?

Looking for some perspective: we just got a brand new $2,000 glass top 78" dining table. I asked my husband to please use a table cloth when he uses that table for d&d with his friends to avoid scratches and the loud dice on the table. He got upset that I "don't let him enjoy our stuff," that I "hate the sound of him having fun," and he says I am being unreasonable. From my perspective, I just want to preserve this expensive piece of furniture that we both love. Am I being unreasonable?
