AITA for refusing to let my ex's family stay at my house after her grandmother's funeral?
My ex's family wants to stay at the house we bought together after her grandmother's funeral, but I'm not sure if I should allow it.
After buying my ex's grandmother's house with my savings and inheritance, our divorce led to a disagreement over who would keep the house.
We decided I would buy her out since she couldn't afford it, but now her family wants to stay there after the funeral.
I called my ex and asked her why she volunteered my house for hosting people.
Despite her family's financial struggles, I refused to let them stay in the house.
She apologized and asked if they could stay, but I still said no.
In the end, I stood my ground and did not allow them to stay at the house.

After refusing to let my ex's family stay, tensions rose but ultimately they found other accommodations.
While my ex's family had to find alternative housing, it led to some strained relationships.

Sometimes tough decisions are necessary even if they cause friction.
I felt conflicted about my choice but ultimately felt it was necessary to maintain boundaries.
