A woman has turned to TikTok to ask whether she is the bad guy in a situation involving her sister, her sister’s boyfriend, and a curtain. Her story takes place over several years and while many may see the logic in her actions, it apparently upset her sister enough to cause a rift between the two.
You may be wondering how a curtain could possibly break the bond between two sisters but TikToker Chelsea is in a rather unique and strange situation as she explains to viewers in her video. The two sisters share a room and the curtain was put up by Chelsea for a little privacy due to the fact that her sister’s boyfriend was always round.
However, it’s much deeper than that as Chelsea explains that her sister’s boyfriend is literally always round. She claims he’s stayed over practically every night for the last five years despite not paying rent and despite the fact that he’s encroaching on Chelsea’s personal space too.
While Chelsea’s mother allowed him to stay, she did kick him out for a year, however, she ultimately changed her mind and let him return despite Chelsea pleading with her not to. While her sister’s boyfriend had been absent, Chelsea had felt freedom within her own home for the first time in years and things had been going well.
The curtain issue
Upon the boyfriend’s return, Chelsea decided she would put up a curtain over her side of the room to give herself some privacy. However, despite checking with her sister that she would be ok with it, the boyfriend tried to tell Chelsea that her choice to put up the curtain would “this will ruin you and your sister’s relationship.”
It’s pretty bold and pretty braindead to complain about them wanting their own space when you’re the one who invaded their space but apparently this boyfriend is about as self aware as a brick so he doesn’t see the issue. As for Chelsea’s sister, she has suddenly taken her boyfriend’s side on the matter despite previously saying she was fine with the curtain going up.
The people of TikTok were not kind to the entitled boyfriend, “So he likes to creep on you,” wrote one viewer. “I’m not understanding why he’s allowed to have an opinion on what happens in YOUR house, and YOUR room!?!” Added another. You should never let a toxic boyfriend dictate how you design your room.
Honestly Chelsea’s decision to have the curtains fitted seems like the right move and they should only be thrown out if the boyfriend is thrown out with them.
