AITA for not wanting to be mutuals with my brothers gf on socials until they’ve been together for a solid while

no same, i've been with my bf for 3 years and don't follow any of his siblings. I also wouldn't follow any gf my brother got unless we got super close. i'd say it's not really how long they've been together but rather your relationship with that new person

I mean I get ur point, I don’t wanna follow any random girl my brother gets with, depends how you say it though, cuz at first I thought you were saying it like you didn’t wanna follow her cuz you were tryna do a bro code type thing, you gotta make that clear cuz that would be kinda weird, but if it’s really their gf I could see it being uncomfortable and might cause anxiety/stress if you don’t, but hey it’s urs and you shouldn’t feel pressured to connect with people you don’t want to

no that’s fair, i didn’t follow my brothers new (in the context of like 3 years ago) gf on anything for a WHILEEEE and, even though they’re broken up now, im still mutuals with her on tiktok and insta bc there’s no bad blood between them and she spent so much time with us. it all depends on the relationship (between all parties tbh)

tbh depends how many people you have on ig. if it’s just like friends and family, def not but if u follow like 300+ people then lowk

I just don’t see the point in following each other until they’re together long term

And it would totally be weird to if they tried to pressure you into following, it would def make me uncomfortable with the person, like I’d feel like they were controlling my bro

Yeah this, if you haven’t met the person I really don’t see a reason to follow

I’m just throwing my thoughts out here and kinda answered every option (yes no maybe and maybe not), so apologies

also, to share just a little more context, they broke up pretty recently after being together for 2.5+ years. it was hard on both of them, but from talking to my brother and seeing what she’s been up to on social media, it seems like they’re both doing well and adjusting to life without each other. still sucks, but my entire family just wants the best for both of them.
