Extended family members often take trips together, but typically it's expected that each group within the family will have their own hotel rooms or accommodations. One woman recently shared on Reddit that she was on a trip with her parents, her sister, and her sister's family when her sister and her husband got into a fight.

As a result, the sister kicked her husband out of her own room … so he went down the hall to try to stay with the younger woman.
She writes that she paid for her own room.
"I f21 went with my family on a vacation to beach resort. It was me, my dad, mom, my sister (31), her husband (BIL, 37) and their 2 kids," she began.
"My parents booked 2 rooms and I got one for myself (meaning that I paid for it, they didn't force me but I still paid)."
The fight happened pretty early into the trip.
"Anyways, I noticed that my sister and BIL were acting strange before we got to the resort," she continued. "At the hotel an argument ensued between them and my sister ended up kicking him out of the hotel room and stayed there with the kids. BIL then knocked on my door at 1am asking if he could stay with me for the night because 'my crazy sister' unfairly yelled at him and kicked him out."
She didn't want him to stay with her.
"I tried to pressure him to tell me but he stalled. I said I didn't feel comfortable having him sleep in my room but he snapped and told me that he was like a brother to me and I was being paranoid. I suggested I go talk to my sister and try to get her to let him into the room since he paid for it but he said no and that she was the one who told him to stay with me."
Things got worse.
"I suggested that I have mom come stay with me and he stay with dad but he refused. I declined and said I couldn't let him spend the night in my room period. He got mad at me and went like boarderline hysteric til the point where the staff got involved. My sister then came out the room and started arguing with him again which resulted in him sleeping outside. My parents thought I should've let him stay with me but my sister said it would've been inappropriate and denied telling him to knock on my door and ask to stay with me."
Her parents are upset with her, too.
"He has stopped talking to me after that and my parents insisted that I should've let him stay and not let him sleep outside. They said I created unnecesary tension and added more stress to the vacation by acting selfish."
People are creeped out.
One person wrote, "it’s your room that you paid for, you have every right to deny people to stay in it.
"Even if you didn’t pay for it, your comfort is most important and your BIL sounds like a major creep."
There are major red flags.
Another person added, "No one with innocent intentions lies like that. And then the absolute refusal to even consider any other option besides sleeping outside?? It's so manipulative, he wants [the original poster, OP] to feel guilty she didn't give him what he wanted. I have no idea why the parents think this is acceptable behavior on any level, it's so creepy and inappropriate and manipulative!"
They are also questioning the parents.
"Your parents are wrong to say that you should sacrifice that kind of comfort to keep the peace. Somehow it is always women’s job just to be polite instead of having boundaries respected, isn’t it? You offered other solutions and he escalated."
