AITA for asking my girlfriend to move out because she started a career as an influencer and stopped respecting my privacy?
The user, living with his girlfriend for two years, initially enjoyed a good balance in their relationship, including supporting her budding interest in becoming an influencer.
At first, her content creation involved simple pictures and videos, which the user was happy to support.
However, the girlfriend's career quickly demanded more space, turning their apartment into a constant studio requiring perfect curation and frequent filming, often including the user without consent.
When the user expressed feeling worn down by the lack of privacy and suggested she might need to move out to maintain his need for space, she became very angry, accusing him of being unsupportive and selfish.
This has led to a serious rift, leaving the user questioning if his desire for privacy in his own home is unreasonable.

The original poster (OP) is currently in a difficult position, struggling to balance his commitment to his partner with his fundamental need for personal privacy and space within his own home.
The central conflict arises from the girlfriend viewing the OP's boundary setting as a direct attack on her career success, while the OP feels his personal boundaries are being completely disregarded in favor of her professional requirements.
The key debate is whether the OP is obligated to sacrifice all personal space for his partner's career, or if the partner's professional needs must yield to the fundamental right to privacy in a shared living space.
Is the OP being selfish for requesting a private sanctuary, or is the girlfriend failing to respect essential relationship boundaries?
