Being close with your friend’s family can be nice, but it’s not always a good idea. One woman came to regret her close relationship with her best friend’s brother after he gave her a ‘creepy’ present. The 19-year-old had known her best friend since childhood and moved in with her six months ago.
As a result, she had become familiar with the 26-year-old brother. However, their platonic relationship took an unexpected turn when he gifted her lingerie for her birthday. In a Reddit post, the woman explained that she found the gift strange and put it away in her drawer.
When the brother asked if she had worn it, her sister sided with him, leading to an argument where the woman ended up feeling uncomfortable and upset. Despite feeling grossed out by the gift, she was told by her sister that she had overreacted. Seeking advice, she turned to Reddit, where many people supported her decision to get rid of the lingerie, with some calling the brother’s actions “weird” and “creepy.”
Some advised her to consider moving out as soon as possible. It was commonly agreed among the Reddit users that the brother’s gift and subsequent behavior were inappropriate, with one user emphasizing that men do not typically buy lingerie for women they are not involved with. Overall, the consensus was that the brother’s actions were not acceptable, and the woman was justified in feeling uncomfortable.
