I (F27) have been living with my boyfriend (M28). His brother (M35) moved in with us and hasn’t contributed anything for rent or bills since being here for several months due to falling on roughy times after a messy divorce.
He has a history of practicing witchcraft and was explicitly asked to not do that here. I made it clear that I don’t judge people do that sort of thing, but I’m just not comfortable with it in my house. He agreed he wouldn’t practice. Months pass and I begin smelling candle wax from his room. One day when he wasn’t home, I decided to crack open his bedroom door. I saw what appeared to be a love-binding spell setup with candles lit, and pictures of his ex.
I was shocked. He ignored our previous agreement. Not to mention the potential fire hazard that he is causing in the house.
I told my bf about it and he agreed that it should be addressed. He talked to his brother about it and his brother simply agreed he wouldn’t do it again. However, given that his word alone wasn’t enough the first time, I’m not taking his word for it again.
I told my bf I’m going to ask his brother to move out.
I know I was wrong in peeking into the brother’s room, but I feel disrespected, uncomfortable, and honestly a little creeped out in my own home.
Am I wrong for wanting to ask my brother-in-law to move out?
EDIT: short sentences DOES NOT mean AI use. I used concise language for character count. Read comments if you care about further context.
ALSO, all 3 of us are born and raised Catholics, but bf’s brother uses dark magic rituals on occasion for his own gain or cause harm to others which is the part that makes me uncomfortable about him doing it in our home.
