AITA for hugging my brother during NYE?
English Second Language
I (25F) was invited by my brother (22M) to spend NYE at his house, along with his group of friends (that he had since he was a kid), his girlfriend and some of her friends.
I hadn’t made plans with my own friends because I had to work till 23:00. But my brother lives close to my workplace so it worked out.
I have known his friends for about 12 years so it wasn’t awkward at all. He started dating his girlfriend about 6 months ago. We met a couple of times and she seems really nice.
Everything was going fine, we celebrated the new year together and everyone exchanged new years wishes.
But around 30 minutes after the countdown I noticed my brother walking away from the group with tears streaming down his face.
About 3 years ago his best friend died in a car crash. It was devastating for the whole group and moments like these are always difficult for them (especially my brother)
I followed him and just gave him a hug. I didn’t say anything because I knew what was going on. At that point he started sobbing and the rest of the group noticed what was going on. I held him for a few minutes, until he let go. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and walked off.
His girlfriend tried to follow him but he told her that he needed a minute to himself.
After a few minutes he came back and tried to give his gf a hug but she rejected it. She said that she should have been the one to console him, not me, and that I ruined their moment.
I really don’t think I did? I would understand her anger if I was a random girl. But I was just trying to console my little brother.
At that point my brother got irritated and told her to get over herself.
Everyone was drunk at that point so I figured that has something to do with it. But its been 2 days now and she is still angry with us.
