Reddit user refuses to give up meat or alcohol for temporary houseguest at his home

A family drama involving four adults living together has sparked controversy online. The husband and father shared on Reddit that his stepson asked to bring his girlfriend to live with them for the summer due to her difficult home situation. The man had concerns about the living arrangement with two kids already in the house. The girlfriend had issues with alcohol and meat consumption in the house, leading to a confrontation about changing their lifestyle. The man refused to make changes, leading to disagreements with his wife and stepson. Online commenters supported the man’s decision to prioritize his comfort in his own home.

The individual commented, “The biggest concern I have is, why does your wife believe this is acceptable? Has she made similar requests in the past?”

Additionally, they mentioned, “P.S. I am assuming you drink lightly as you mentioned. If you consume more than two drinks daily, there may be a valid point to consider.”

In response, the original poster explained, “I don’t drink frequently. Some weeks I may have a drink 2-3 days, while other times I can go 1-2 weeks without any alcohol. However, I keep it in the house and have a drink when I feel like it or want to pair it with a meal.”

Fox News Digital contacted a psychologist for their perspective on the matter.
