AITA just because all of the drama in my (42M) family involves me?

I (42M) live with my non-traditional family in the same house, consisting of my brother Sam (38M), my best friend (also just started kinda trying dating) Cas (44M) and his adopted son Jack (4M). We usually all get along okay, but sometimes there’s drama. Big things, little things, whatever. Some examples: someone doesn’t do the dishes so it becomes a fight over dishes; someone’s son kills their best friend’s mom; someone’s brother won’t stop pestering them about their love of anime; someone’s best friend doesn’t answer the phone for 5 days; someone keeps leaving their sweaty gym socks in the entryway; someone is being overprotective of a sibling; someone keeps using up all the peanut butter for post-workout smoothies; someone lets their son DRAW on a CAR with CHALK… you know–the usual.

My brother suggested to me yesterday that the common denominator with all the drama in the house is me. He says I’m always one half of every conflict in the house. He pointed out that he and my best friend never fight, which makes him think the issue might be me most of the time and I might just be repressing my emotions until I explode instead of talking things out in a healthy way and that’s what causes all the drama in our house.

It is true that Sam and Cas don’t really fight each other, but I’m not convinced that that’s actually a sign of them being emotionally healthier than me. I actually think they’re both just good at pretending they’re fine with each other… and I think they should try fighting more often. I think THEY are repressing their frustrations with each other and just wait for me to manage all interpersonal problems in the house because they’re intimidated by conflict. So let me ask y’all: AITA just because all the drama in my family involves me?

Edit: /u/GetThis67 and /u/PB&J_is_life yeah I know your fuckin’ usernames. Why don’t you read some of this shit? See what you think. ;)

INFO: Without more details, we can’t really tell who’s right or who’s wrong. For example, if it’s really true that you handle all the emotional labor and they just wait for you to handle any problems in the house, NTA and the brother and best friend are both assholes. However, that could change to YTA depending on the details of the conflicts.

Here’s what I want to know: OP says the brother and best friend don’t fight… but do they get along? In other words, do they joke around, do things together one on one, etc. or do they just… stay out of each other’s way? Would love your thoughts u/YouKnowYouThatBitch.

Bingo. I’ve noticed more and more lately (ever since Cas moved in) that they treat each other like roommates who met on Craigslist and are just waiting for the lease to be up most of the time. I hang out with both of them one on one pretty often, but they rarely hang out with each other one on one unless it’s just for work. If I ask them how that went, they always get tight lipped about it and my spidey senses start tingling like I KNOW something happened, but I dunno what. It’s highly suspicious if you ask me. We’ve all known each other for like 12 years. They used to get into it a bit, but now they don’t… but the warmth is kinda gone too imo, ya know? They got into it in a really big way like… 9 or 10 years ago, and I kinda suspect they’ve been afraid of fighting each other ever since and it’s slowly put a strain on their friendship.

Alright–let’s go for a simple example: My brother keeps using too much peanut butter in his smoothies and we run out of the stuff. What’s worse is, he puts the goddamn jar back in the pantry even though it’s fucking empty, because apparently, he can’t be bothered to walk 5 feet to the trash can. This is kind of annoying for me when I’m making grocery lists, but I don’t eat a whole lot of peanut butter. Cas, on the other hand… LOVES PB&Js, and so does his kid. I can TELL it pisses him off when he’s spreading grape jelly on a piece of bread, then goes to pull the peanut butter jar out of the pantry only to realize there’s nothing in it, but he never says anything to Sam about it and just asks me to get more. So I had to be the one to tell Sam to stop being a jackass and throw away empty containers even though that’s like… Roommates 101.

Another example: Best friend’s kid drew on our car with chalk, and it scratched up the paint a bit. It is true that I love the car most, so I was pretty livid that Cas was apparently just standing there and watching him do it for the last 10 minutes while standing in the garage “supervising” because he doesn’t THINK sometimes… but the car also means a lot to my brother, because it was our dad’s car and we basically grew up riding around in it all over the country. I feel like he was irritated but refused to say anything, even after making the world’s most constipated face for the last 15 minutes because he was CLEARLY bothered.

Third example: Sam is the one who leaves his sweaty socks in the hallway, right after an 8 mile run… I am NOT the only one who smells it, but I am the only one with the balls to tell him to do his goddamn laundry.

4: Sam makes smoothies in a VERY loud blender at 4:30 in the morning.

Dean… you don’t even care whether you’re the asshole. You’re just using this post passive aggressively to try and get a rise out of Cas and me. You are literally trying to BAIT us to fight, which just shows you being emotionally constipated more. It isn’t going to work, because Cas and I are actual adults. Btw, just because I was the one who suggested that the drama in the house is your fault doesn’t mean you have to use mainly examples about ME being a bad “roommate”. I mean, it’s not like Cas doesn’t do plenty of other annoying things you didn’t bother to mention.

Dean doesn’t even know about this because he uses the bathroom further down the hall, but you have a MAJOR problem in the bathroom, Cas. It’s embarrassing.

I feel, if we are being honest with one another, that I should note that it does bother me that you use inordinate amounts of peanut butter at random… but it is a further cruelty that you give me false hope by returning the empty jar to the pantry. I know it is a small thing, but it does become grating over time… especially when I must also see my own crushed hopes mirrored in Jack’s eyes. I understood why Dean was angry and appreciated him mentioning it, even if he seemed to address it in a manner that I initially thought may have been overly harsh. Upon closer consideration, his level of ire was appropriate. I feel you deserved it after repeated incidents. You also do this with the almond milk in the refrigerator, but Dean doesn’t notice since he doesn't drink it and refuses to buy it at the grocery store.

You’re the only person in the house that associates getting up in the middle of the night with healthy living… but that isn’t a surprise. You can be preachy and it becomes incredibly grating at times. For example, I would like to enjoy a burger without hearing you rant to the rest of the table about the environmental impact of cow flatulence. I agree with Dean that tofu burgers are an abomination, and your suggestion that we all switch to eating turkey bacon because it “tastes the same” is mystifyingly inaccurate to the point that it is actually offensive to those of us with a sense of taste.

Only if you’re still using the 1st edition. Angels definitely make an appearance in the second, third, and fifth editions.

/u/GetThis67 Nobody likes listening to NPR on road trips except for you. I pretended in order to be polite. It bores Jack to tears and the Dean clearly would prefer to listen to his tapes. While it does break up the monotony of his Led Zeppelin songs, the static coming from the radio gives me a headache and makes me think of angel radio. I do not like it. It makes me carsick.

Of course you don’t like it. I am a man of taste and culture. You are something that starts with s and rhymes with brine.

…You do realize that Dean does appreciate NPR, right? He might not listen to them, but he reads the website. My brother is a man who appreciates the finer things in life. He pretends that he doesn’t, but we all know that he’s the one who enjoys The Wire. You’re the one who watches Jersey Shore and Jenny Jones.

Wait a moment… are you trying to insinuate that I think your brother is simple minded? Clearly, you are projecting. Last week, you tried to alienate Dean out of going to the movies with you (everyone knew you were actually going to hell for the weekend to visit Rowena by the way) by saying you were going to see “a documentary that you obviously wouldn’t enjoy because it isn’t about cars or sex”. You constantly reduce your brother down to someone who only likes porn when it suits the supercilious jokes you want to make, and your hatred for his anime shows is unfounded.

So you agree? You only acknowledge that Dean is smart when it suits you in the moment to believe he is?

/u/PB&J_is_life, also, LET’S TALK ABOUT HOW YOU TREAT MY BROTHER LIKE A TROPHY WIFE. Newsflash, asshole, it’s not the 50s anymore and you don’t get to live out your antiquated fantasies with my brother. You have mastered the art of being sexist to your partner DESPITE BEING IN A HOMOSEXUAL RELATIONSHIP. Congratulations, man, you’re a real douchebag.

I do not treat Dean like a trophy wife. Also, how dare you call me "antiquated" when you’re the one who's weirdly obsessed with Dean’s virtue, as though he were a Victorian maiden in need of a chaperone. I have been with your brother for over a decade and you still make me obtain your permission before I can enter his room.

Yeah, because you’re a fucking asshole. Hey, remember when you forgot my soul in Lucifer’s cage and Dean freaked the fuck out? And how did you respond? You said, nah, this is GOOD enough, never mind that the body– yes, the empty vessel– of your brother is a murderous robot that threw you to the vamps, no, you gotta make do with the cheap knockoff ‘cause your man is broke as fuck. You told my brother to STFU and be satisfied like my soul was a Prada handbag and not the VERY ESSENCE OF MY BEING. Oh, and you pretended that this wasn’t your fuck-up. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS 100% YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

No, you promised you’d make it up to my brother and then YOU FUCKED OFF AND LEFT HIM IN PURGATORY. ALONE.

If I recall correctly, you did the exact same thing. Then you told your brother that you’d leave him if he had the audacity to be mad at you. Then you tried to kill the only friend he had left at that point, the man who’d rescued him from Purgatory after you’d let him down– AGAIN– and then you proceeded to brutalize him emotionally for the next year and a half. So you need to take a piss and check your reflection in it, because you are NOT the knight in shining armor you think you are.

Sam. I have taken the last 57 minutes to reflect after Dean’s reply. He is right. This has gotten out of hand. I feel especially bad about my response to this comment. It was snappish and cold. I’m sorry.

Yeah. I also took a step back and looked at the amount of text we’ve hurled at each other over the last four hours. Jesus. We’ve gone on for ages. I’m sorry too. I really lost my temper.

I dismissed it at first, but Dean is right. There’s… clearly a lot of baggage here between us that I think we’ve avoided… Maybe because it was easier… maybe because we were afraid of what would happen if we really talked about it.

Sam… I want to make sure you know that I did not leave your soul in The Cage because I didn’t care. I genuinely didn’t realize it had separated from your body. I promise you. I was trying to do the right thing when I went into that cage… I was trying to rescue you–all of you… just as I rescued Dean. After, when I did know your soul was missing… I chose to believe it was irrelevant and not worth saving… because that was what I needed to believe to continue my mission. In my hubris, I needed to believe that souls didn’t actually matter… because I was stealing them and using up their essence for power. When I think back on those days, and the things that I said and did to both you and Dean… I feel shame.

I think we should speak to each other about all of these matters in person. Just the two of us.

You’re right. I think we should.

I think a part of me has always thought you just… tolerated me. I really wanted you to like me when we first met. Then I thought we did care about each other… then you… broke my brain. And… I don’t know.

I have shared some of the same concerns over our friendship.

Perhaps we could discuss further over acai bowls at The Green Food Place that we both enjoy.
