Everyone goes through grief differently, but this is a little crazy in our opinion.

Welcome back to another Reddit post that we're looking into today that someone posted on the AIT Athread. You all know that we enjoy going over these posts from Reddit because they're always so interesting and they have a lot of different perspectives usually on them as well.

So that's why we like diving into the details of this post, but let's look into this one that we'll be showing you today. This post was submitted by a guy who is wondering if he's wrong for telling his brother that it's a dumb decision to bring his new girlfriend to his nephew's birthday party.

The relationship between the brother's girlfriend that he lost and the nephew is what makes this especially wrong because it's putting the nephew in a really odd position. Ultimately, he thinks that it's early to introduce the new girlfriend to the nephew because his nephew is still grieving the girlfriend that they lost.

If you're interested in hearing the whole story, which we hope you are, then stay tuned because we're going to give you a full look into the original post, plus we will give you a look into the best comments as well. Without further ado, let's dive in and see this full post.

OP gives us the details on his brother and his brother's girlfriend that they lost and are currently grieving.

Then he goes into what his brother is planning to do at their nephew's birthday party and why he thinks that this is a bad idea.

His brother called him an AH and just wants his family to accept that he is happy and they should be excited to meet her.

The first comment says that they do agree with OP in saying that the birthday party is not the best place to introduce the new girlfriend.

These comments were after the last one and basically they just gave different perspectives on the situation and what should be acceptable.

A lot of people said that everyone goes through grief differently, but that maybe the birthday party just isn't the right time to introduce her to them.

I'm not sure why he thought that it would be a good idea, but OP is right in trying to get his brother to not bring the girlfriend. Maybe a family dinner is a better place to introduce her.

This is true too because the brother just feels like everyone is not accepting his girlfriend or that he's happy, but that's not the reason.

It seems that some people think that OP is in the wrong for what he's mad about, because the brother can move on at any pace he'd like.

This comment was one of the only ones but it did state that they think OP is TA because it seems that he isn't having compassion for both people.

Most people seem to agree with OP in saying that the birthday party isn't exactly the time and place to be sharing his new girlfriend and having people meet her. Because the nephew is still grieving, this should be all about him anyway and this might come off wrong.
